The U.S. Mint is SOLD OUT of this very popular
Marine Corps Coin & Stamp Set
For 230 years, the men and women of the United States Marine Corps have stood for those who could not stand. They have fought and died to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. Imbued with courage and resolve, a Marine can be counted on to bear any burden, at home or abroad, in defense of liberty.
The U.S. Mint has limited the issue of this set to just 50,000.
Set contains a satin finish uncirculated 2005 Marine Corps 230th Anniversary Silver Dollar and an original 3-cent Iwo Jima postage stamp, issued by the then United States Post Office Department in 1945.
Both the obverse of the coin and the stamp carry a rendition of the flag raising at Iwo Jima.
This image, as seen through the lens of Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal atop Mount Suribachi on the Japanese Island of Iwo Jima, February 23, 1945, is believed to be the most reproduced image in the history of photography.
The silver dollar's reverse features an engraving of the official emblem of the United States Marine Corps. This emblem has remained virtually unchanged since 1868.
The coin is 90% silver and 10% copper. It's diameter is 1.5 inches and it weighs 26.73 grams.
Price: $55.00
