A
SUPREME HONOR
This commemorative silver dollar honoring Chief Justice John Marshall
is available for purchase through the Supreme
Court Historical Society Gift Shop. This coin commemorates
the 250th anniversary (2005) of the birth of John Marshall and is the first coin
ever issued to honor a Supreme Court Justice. The obverse is modeled on a portrait
of Marshall based on a sketch by Charles de Saint-Memim, and shows the Great
Chief Justice in profile. The reverse shows the Restored Supreme Court Chamber
with its unique ribbed vaulting designed by Benjamin Latrobe located in the U.S.
Capitol Building. Marshall presided over sessions of the Court in that chamber.
You can support the Supreme Court Historical Society and
be a part of history by purchasing coins. The Society will receive a portion
of the price for every coin sold. The prices are: $35 for an uncirculated
silver dollar; and $39 for the proof silver dollar. (Please be advised
that the pricing of the coins is set by the Mint in conformance with their requirements,
and we will be unable to offer a discount to members.)
In addition to the single coin options, this commemorative coin is also available

dollar, a Bureau of Engraving & Printing intaglio print of William Wetmore
Story's 1884 sculpture depicting the Chief Justice seated in the robes of the
Court and a revealing booklet on the life of Chief Justice John Marshall, written
by the Supreme Court Historical Society. The slipcase includes Certificates of
Authenticity from both Henrietta Holsman Fore, Director of the
United States Mint, and Tom Ferguson, Director of the Bureau
of Engraving & Printing. The price is $59.95 for members and non-members. This
