Comment
The 1998 Black Revolutionary War Patriots Silver Dollar was issued to mark the 275th anniversary of the birth of Crispus Attucks. He was the first patriot killed during the Boston Massacre in 1770, one of the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. A portion of the surcharges would go towards a Black Patriots Memorial in Washington DC. Sponsoring groups failed to raise adequate funds to get the project completed.The Black Revolutionary War Patriots Silver Dollar was minted at the San Francisco Mint, with proof and uncirculated coins available. The coins were sold individually or as part of a Black Patriots Coin & Stamp Set. This set was packaged with four stamps featuring Frederick Douglas, Benjamin Banneker, Salem Poor, and Harriet Tubman. Of the authorized mintage of 500,000 silver dollars, a combined 112,280 coins were sold during the sales period from February 13, 1998 to December 31, 1998. Similar to other situations, this low mintage translated into higher secondary market prices for the issue.
