Description

The 1998 (S) RFK Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint, is part of the Modern Commemorative Dollars (1982-Date) collection. The U.S. Mint produced 106,422 examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 52% of production. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue, authorized by Congress to honor significant American events, people, and institutions and the reverse displays designs varying by commemorative issue. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. The San Francisco Mint, a Gold Rush-era institution, now specializes in proof and collector coinage. Auction record: $2,135 AU55 04-04-2021 eBay. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9763.
