The 2000-P Library of Congress Commemorative Silver Dollar is a coin minted to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Library of Congress, which is the largest library in the world and is located in Washington, D.C., across from the U.S. Capitol Building. This coin was authorized by Congress in October 1998 to commemorate this historic institution and its contributions to knowledge and culture. Specifications: Designer: John M. Mercanti (obverse), Thomas D. Rogers (reverse) Edge: Reeded Diameter: 38.10 millimeters Weight: 26.73 grams Mintage: 53,264 Mint: Philadelphia Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper History and Significance: The Library of Congress is renowned for its vast collection, which comprises approximately 119 million items and includes an extensive range of materials such as books, manuscripts, recordings, photographs, maps, and more. It has approximately 530 miles of bookshelves, making it a treasure trove of knowledge and information. The U.S. Mint produced two versions of the one-dollar silver coin: mint state and proof. Additionally, a unique bimetallic gold and platinum ten-dollar coin was minted to commemorate this significant anniversary. This bimetallic coin was a remarkable and unprecedented undertaking by the U.S. Mint, adding to its historical importance. The 2000-P Library of Congress Commemorative Silver Dollar serves as a tribute to the Library's enduring legacy and its role in preserving and disseminating knowledge and culture. With its limited mintage and historical significance, it is a valued collector's item that pays homage to this iconic institution.
