About This Coin
The 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial Commemorative Dollar is a United States cent from the Modern Commemorative Dollars (1982-Date) series — an early issue, 3rd of 42 years in the series. In 1986, coins were struck at the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints with a combined mintage of 7.1 million. This represents the highest annual mintage in the entire series, above the series median of 226,572. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue, authorized by Congress to honor significant American events, people, and institutions and the reverse displays designs varying by commemorative issue. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. A notable auction result reached $550 in MS70 grade at eBay. Designed by John M. Mercanti/Mathew Peloso.
