Exciting and new, this2006 Franklin "Founding Father" Silver Dollar in perfectPR70 condition is a wonderful tribute to a true American statesman and inventor.

2006 Franklin Silver Dollar Features:

• Honors Benjamin Franklin - on January 17, 2006, the United States Mint issued two Silver Dollars honoring Benjamin Franklin on the 300th anniversary of his birth
• Beautiful design - depicts Franklin as one of America's "Founding Fathers" and features a familiar image of Franklin in his later years.  The image is based on a bust originally executed by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1778.  The reverse of this coin features a replica of a 1776 Continental Currency dollar, in honor of Franklin's contributions to the development of our Nation's coinage and currency.
• Graded PR70 - the highest grade possible
• Proof - the United States Mint also makes a limited number of Proof coins each year. Proof coins are unlike regular U.S. coins, because they undergo a specialized minting process, which begins by manually feeding burnished silver coin blanks into presses fitted with special dies. The coin is struck multiple times so the softly frosted, yet detailed images seem to float above a mirror-like field.
• Deep Cameo - deeply frosted devices and lettering that contrast with the fields producing extra sharp details
• Limited edition commemorative coin - sold out almost immediately at the United States Mint
• Graded by ICG
• Encapsulated in clear acrylic
• Custom blue steel case 
• Measures approx. 1.49" in diameter
• Weighs approx. 1 oz.
