2000 Leif Ericson Commemorative Coins
The United States Mint released the 2000 Leif Ericson Silver Dollars to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of the discovery of the new world. Special sets released also included an Icelandic coin featuring Ericson.Both proof and uncirculated versions were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Since many collectors ordered the proof format or the special set, which also contained the proof version, the uncirculated coin has a very low mintage. At only 28,150, it is one of the lowest for a modern commemorative silver dollar.
