2010 American Veterans Disabled For Life Uncirculated Silver Dollar

The 2010 American Veterans Disabled For Life Uncirculated Silver Dollar was struck to honor those who served in one of the armed forces of the United States and were disabled as a result of that service.

The coins were authorized by the American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Coin Act of 2008 and are struck from 90% silver and 10% copper to a diameter of 1.5 inches.

When sold by the Mint, a surcharge of $10 is added to the sale of each coin. The authorizing legislation requires those additional raised funds to be forwarded to the Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation who will use them to support the construction of the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial in Washington, D.C.

A version of this coin is available in either this uncirculated condition or in proof. A maximum mintage of 350,000 across both conditions is in place for the design.
