2019-P $1 American Legion Silver Commem - BU

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint to celebrate the centennial of The American Legion, this 2019-P BU Silver Dollar honors one of the most influential veterans service organizations in U.S. history. Since 1919, the Legion has promoted American values, supported generations of veterans, and strengthened communities through civic engagement and youth programs. This Brilliant Uncirculated edition features strong detail and a smooth satin-style finish.

Historical Insight:

The American Legion was chartered in 1919 by Congress as a patriotic veterans organization committed to mutual helpfulness. Over the past century, it has grown into a major voice for U.S. veterans, shaping policy on education, healthcare, and national defense. It has also made a lasting impact through youth development, scholarships, and programs like Boys State and Legion Baseball.

Collector Note:

With a very low BU mintage of just 9,858, the 2019-P American Legion Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Dollar is one of the scarcer modern commemoratives. Its clean, patriotic imagery and century-spanning legacy make it a standout in military or nonprofit-themed collections. A proud tribute to 100 years of service beyond the battlefield.
