2015 Federal Marshals Silver Dollar - Proof - OGP

Over the last 228 years, the United States of America has been protected by our nation's oldest law enforcement agency: the U.S. Marshal Service. Founded by our nation's first commander-in-chief George Washington in 1789, the Marshals have stood guard and ensured Liberty and Justice throughout our lands for more than two straight centuries.

In honor of their 225th anniversary in 2015, the United States Mint created one of their best special issue dollars in recent memory: the U.S. Marshal Silver Proof. Not only was this coin's design an immediate hit with collectors, it ended up being an all-time favorite thanks to its status as one of the rarest proof silver dollars ever made!

When it comes to collecting, quality and rarity it is often the name of the game...and quite simply put, it is hard to find better quality than these stunning 2015 proofs! Each coin is struck from .999 Fine Silver and features a reverse displaying a striking rendition of a frontier U.S. Marshal leaning against a post while holding a "Wanted in Ft. Smith" poster. Along with this stunning portrayal is the agencies motto "Justice, Integrity, Service", the denomination ($1), 'E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

The Obverse of the design features the U.S. Marshal Service Star with the silhouettes of deputies on horseback searching for an unseen fugitive. This symbolized the famous "Posses" that were so prevalent during the "Wild West" years...the design also includes the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "1789-2014," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2015."

While these Proof Silver Dollars were intended to have a maximum mintage of 500,000, their final production numbers were simply staggering! Only 124,329 Proof Silver Marshal Dollars were made in the stand-alone Original Government Packaging! That is so rare that it makes this 2015 Marshal Proof Dollar the 18th rarest special issue release of all-time in the series!
