Coins - 1987 Prestige Set Certificate of Authenticity and Coin Specifications

The US Mint printed the Certificate of Authenticity for the 1987 Prestige Set on gray paper similar to parchment using blue ink.

The paper is slightly smaller than a regular page of 8 1/2 by 11 inches. Information is printed on both sides with the paper folded in half before being added to the Prestige Set package.

The front of the folded certificate shows the heraldic eagle in blue print centered above the identification "UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION COINS," "Certificate of Authenticity" and "PRESTIGE SET."

On the back of the folded certificate, the Mint recognized the artist who designed both the obverse and reverse of commemorative silver dollar constitution coin.

Artist for the 1987 Silver Dollar

Patricia L. Verani

Patricia L. Verani was born in 1927 in Plandome, Long Island, New York and attended the Boston Museum of F.A. on a scholarship where she studied with Frederick W. Allen, Peter Abate, Elizabeth McLean-Smith, and Ivan Mestrovic.

Verani won the Mrs. Louis Bennet bas relief prize in the National Sculpture Society Show in 1979 and first prize in the Fighting Black Bear Competition of the University of Maine at Orono and executed an eight foot bronze statue. She currently has work on view at the Medallic Art Company as well as the Nutfield commemorative coins in Londonderry, Windham and Derry, New Hampshire.

Unfolded, the inside of the certificate provides a message from the Director of the Mint and details the coins' specifications - the commemorative silver dollar and the standard proof coins.
