In the two centuries since its founding, West Point has produced some of America's most celebrated military leaders — from Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee to Dwight D. Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur. The 2002 bicentennial issue was authorized by Congress to honor that extraordinary 200-year legacy, and was struck at the West Point Mint — located on the Academy grounds themselves — lending this coin a uniquely fitting provenance. Certified PF69 by PCGS, this near-perfect example is an exceptional piece for collectors of U.S. commemorative coinage, military history, or American numismatic art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U.S. Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53198373290278,"sku":null,"price":95.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/7390\/3142\/files\/2002-WWestPointBicentennialCommemorativeSilverDollarPCGSPF69Obverse.jpg?v=1778707958","url":"https:\/\/oneinabullion.com\/products\/2002-w-west-point-bicentennial-commemorative-silver-dollar-pcgs-pf69","provider":"One in a Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
