About this Product Full Product Name
 

Celebrate Jackie Robinson Day with His Very-Own U.S Mint First! The 1st MLB-Player Silver Dollar: the 1997 Jackie Robinson in UNC!

With the return of another Major League Baseball season, franchises and their fans the nation over are excited for another chance to win it all! Opening day may be one of the biggest days in Baseball fandom, but few days are as important to the sport as today: Jackie Robinson Day! His bravery, character, and athletic excellence lead him to become one of the best players in Major League Baseball History!

In Honor of this historic anniversary, we decided it was only right that we bring back one of the most popular baseball coins ever struck: The 1997 Jackie Robinson Uncirculated Silver Dollar!

A U.S. Mint & Major League Baseball First -- all in one Silver Dollar!

The Jackie Robinson Silver Dollar was just the second major league baseball coin to ever be produced by the United States Mint. It was minted in 1997, on the 50th anniversary of the player’s historic groundbreaking and barrier shattering season! This Special silver dollar is also the first “official” United States coin bearing the likeness of a former player!

Now some of you may be asking “What about the 1992 Nolan Ryan Dollar?”...well, let’s put it this way: the U.S. Mint did not ‘officially’ state that it was Nolan Ryan on that coin!


This is because even though the design of the dollar itself matched his Fleer Baseball card exactly, it was and is still illegal for a living individual to be placed on U.S. Coinage! Therefore the official U.S. Mint stance is that it is NOT a ‘Nolan Ryan silver dollar’.


Thanks to this design oversight, the Jackie Robinson Silver Dollar has become a must-have for coin collectors thanks to its status as an all-time first from the United States Mint!
