2003-P $1 Silver First Flight Commemorative BU

First Flight Commemorative Silver Dollar

Imagine how different the world would be if the Wright Brothers hadn’t made that first historic flight well over a century ago. To honor the centennial of the event in 2003, the United States Mint issued a series of commemoratives that paid tribute to Orville and Wilbur Wrights’ momentous flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

The Perseverance Of The Wright Brothers

Here you can get the $1 coin struck by the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia in highly pure 90% fine silver. It shows the Kitty Hawk Flyer as it soars over the fields near Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. The Wright Brothers were self-taught engineers who relied on teamwork and application of the scientific process. After four long years of experimentation, their perseverance finally paid off and they achieved the first successful airplane flight on December 17, 1903, changing our world forever. The coin’s obverse shows a side-by-side portrait of the two brothers along with the dual dates of 1903 and 2003.
