2014 P Civil Rights Act of 1964 50th Anniversary

Up for sale is a beautiful example of a 2014 P CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 COMMEMORATIVE COIN. This coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The coin’s designs are emblematic of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act and its contribution to civil rights in America.

Equality in education was one of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement. Fifty years ago, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 greatly expanded civil rights protections, outlawing racial segregation in public places and places of public accommodation; funding federal programs; and encouraging desegregation in public schools.

The obverse (heads) design features three people holding hands at a civil rights march. The man holds a sign that reads “We Shall Overcome.” The design is symbolic of all the marches that helped galvanize the civil rights movement.

The reverse (tails) design features three flames intertwined to symbolize the freedom of education, freedom to vote and freedom to control one’s own destiny. The design was inspired by the following quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.: “They get the fire hose. They fail to realize that water can only put out physical fire. But water can never drown the fire of freedom.”

The coin is well struck with all the details being sharp and clean. The coin displays original vibrant lusters, flawless surfaces & strikes and excellent, sharp details. Just the way a coin like this should look. View the pictures yourself and see how beautiful this coin is. A great example of what a coin should look like.
