One of My Favorite Commemorative Coins

It comes in a very nice box, well presented. Complete with certificate of authenticity, the eagle from the US seal, in a deep royal blue box. It's the 2005 US Marines Commemorative Dollar coin, honoring the 230th year anniversary of the service.

Opening this feels like the original unboxing, years ago.

The silver eagle on the front is impressive all on it's own.

The obverse features the raising of the US flag on Iwo Jima, with the phrase "In God We Trust" and "LIBERTY" and also "Marines 1775 2005"

The reverse has the Seal of the US Marines with the motto "Semper Fidelis" meaning "always faithful". Also features "E Pluribus Unum" meaning "From many, one" and "United States of America", missing the definite article "The", which is required, as the US is not a singular State, but United States.

This coin was minted in Philadelphia, with the "P" mintmark. The denomination of ONE DOLLAR is listed on the bottom.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

This certainly commemorates an important juncture in history and what the service at the time fought for what they believe in. It makes me wonder what our western service personnel truly understand what they are fighting for today?
