2018-P $1 Breast Cancer Awareness Silver Commem - BU

Issued by the U.S. Mint to raise awareness and support for breast cancer research, the 2018-P Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Dollar honors the courage and resilience of those affected by breast cancer. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this BU version features a satin-like finish with sharp detail, making it ideal for collectors seeking a meaningful modern commemorative with a noble cause.

Historical Insight:

Authorized by the Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Act of 2016, this coin program marked a historic first: it was the first U.S. commemorative program focused on breast cancer awareness. Funds raised through surcharges benefited the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, one of the leading nonprofits dedicated to preventing and curing breast cancer through research and innovation.

Collector Note:

With a very low mintage of only 11,335, the 2018-P BU Breast Cancer Awareness Silver Dollar is among the scarcer modern BU commemoratives. Its touching symbolism, important cause, and artistic strength make it a meaningful acquisition; whether as a collectible, a gift, or a tribute to a survivor. A standout example of how numismatics can serve both art and advocacy.
