Released on Jan. 17, the collectibles are produced at the Philadelphia Mint in finishes of proof and uncirculated.

Proof coins have frosted designs that contrast attractively against mirror-like backgrounds. They are almost aways more sought than uncirculated coins which have a brilliant but more standard appearance. The following sets of photos show both coin types. In the first photo, a proof WWI Silver Dollar is to the left. You can see its mirrored qualities reflects the red, white and blue colors from its presentation case.

The coin’s obverse depicts an almost stone-like soldier gripping a rifle. Barbed wire twines are featured in the lower right-hand side of the design. The wire design element continues onto the reverse, which also features abstract poppies mixed in with barbed wire. The designs resulted from a judged competition won by LeRoy Transfield. Don Everhart sculpted the designs.
