2009-P $1 Silver Lincoln Bicentennial Commemorative BU
Noble Words for Your Collection
This impressive 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commemorative Dollar was struck to commemorate the bicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth. Struck in highly pure 90% fine silver, it features a portrait of the 16th President on the obverse and one of the verses from his Gettysburg Address on the reverse. This popular one-year-only commemorative silver dollar proved to be so popular that both Proof and this Uncirculated version quickly sold out!
Honest Abe And The Gettysburg Address
It should have come as no surprise that these coins would be so popular. After all, Lincoln is ranked as one of the best Presidents ever to serve the United States. His signature moment was the delivery of his famous Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19, 1863, nearly five months after the famous battle was fought there. While Lincoln himself didn’t think much of the speech, historians have hailed the monumental oration as one of the most famous speeches in American history. Talk about short and sweet; the famous address lasted barely two minutes!
