Comment

The 2001 Capitol Visitor Center Silver Dollar was issued as part of the commemorative coin program authorized for the proposed Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, DC. The program included three different coins issued in proof and uncirculated versions.

Both the proof and uncirculated versions of the 2001 Capitol Visitor Center Silver Dollar were produced at the Philadelphia Mint. The US Mint offered the coins individually or as part of a three coin set, in standard packaging or a simple mailer at a slightly reduced price. The maximum authorized mintage was 500,000 coins, but the final tally would reach about 35% of that amount. Surcharges added to the cost of each coin in the program benefited the construction of the proposed visitor center under the U.S. Capitol’s East Plaza.
