The United States Modern Commemorative Coin program began in 1982. That year, the US Mint released commemorative half dollar coins to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Since that date, commemorative coins have been issued nearly every year to celebrate famous American people, places, events, and institutions. The wide range of subject matters and the diversity of designs make commemorative coins extremely popular with U.S. collectors!!
The 2021 Christa McAuliffe Silver Dollar was issued to honor McAuliffe and the six astronauts, who all perished aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger when it exploded over the skies of Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 28th, 1986. McAuliffe, a social studies teacher, was selected in 1985 from more than 11,000 applicants to be the first member of NASA’s Teacher in Space Program.
The obverse designed by Laurie Musser and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill features a left-facing portrait of McAuliffe with a hopeful look on her face along with the inscriptions “CHRISTA McAULIFFE”, “2021”, “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST”.
The reverse designed by Emily Damstra and sculpted by Joseph Menna shows McAuliffe as a teacher, smiling as she points forward and upward towards the nearby stars. Three high school students standing next to her look upwards in wonder of space. There are exactly seven stars on the upper left portion which pay tribute to McAuliffe and the six astronauts killed in this tragic event. Also included on the reverse are a “P” mint mark and the inscriptions “I TOUCH THE FUTURE. I TEACH,”, “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, “ONE DOLLAR” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”.
This 2021 P $1 Proof Silver Christa McAuliffe Commemorative Dollar was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and has been certified PR70 DCAM First Day of Issue by PCGS!! In addition, the label has been hand signed by the designer of the reverse Emily Damstra!!
