Comments

The 1997 Botanic Gardens Silver Dollar was issued for the National Botanic Garden in Washington, DC. Based on the inscriptions the occasion was for the 165th anniversary, which took place two years prior in 1995.

Collectors took focus on the 1997 Botanic Gardens Coinage and Currency Set, which included a matte finish 1997-P Jefferson Nickel. Because only 25,000 of the sets were sold, this nickel enjoys a level of scarcity that has supported high prices. The commemorative offering had a maximum authorized mintage of 50,000 coins across all options. Final combined sales fell below the half-way mark.

1997-P Uncirculated Botanic Gardens Silver Dollar
Pre-Issue Price: $30.00
Regular Price: $33.00
Final Mintage: 58,505

1997-P Proof Botanic Gardens Silver Dollar
Pre-Issue Price:$33.00

Final Mintage: 189,671
