🌟 Item Description
Up for sale is a certified example of a spectacular United States Mint modern commemorative masterpiece—the official 1991-S Mount Rushmore Golden Anniversary Commemorative Silver Dollar officially graded PR69 Deep Cameo by PCGS. Proudly struck from 90% pure silver at the San Francisco Mint facility, this elegant coin pays tribute to the 50th anniversary milestone of Gutzon Borglum's colossal mountain carving nestled in the Black Hills.
The stunning historic design layout represents an extraordinary artistic achievement by top coin designers. The obverse, designed by Marika Somogyi and sculpted by Chester Y. Martin, features a magnificent, high-relief composition displaying the classic profiles of the four iconic American presidents—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln—wreathed beautifully by a spray of laurel leaves. The reverse, executed by mint artist William C. Cousins, features a beautiful symbolic composition showcasing a map of the United States with the Mount Rushmore location clearly marked, overlaid by a stylized, soaring American bald eagle.
Housed safely inside its secure, tamper-evident PCGS protective archival slab at a premium Proof 69 Deep Cameo tier, this coin boasts striking visual contrast. Heavily frosted, satiny details on the presidential profiles and avian contours pop vividly against intensely polished, mirror-like deep background fields. Fully authenticated and certified, this classic commemorative coin is an outstanding addition to solidify any modern silver dollar collection.
