2010 Bill of Rights Silver Ninth Amendment Proof-Like Silver Round Overview

The 2010 Bill of Rights Silver Ninth Amendment Proof-Like Silver Round is a one troy ounce .999 fine silver round issued by Bill of Rights Silver, the program Jim and Janet Lee Meisinger launched in 2009 to strike a silver piece for each article of the Bill of Rights. It was the second piece in the series, following the 2009 Second Amendment round, and it carries the “AOCS APPROVED” legend of the Frisco, Texas–based American Open Currency Standard. The issuer titled it “The Power of the People.”

The amendment it honors is one of the shortest in the Constitution and one of the least discussed. When the Constitution went to the states in 1787 without a bill of rights, its opponents demanded one, and its defenders raised an objection of their own. Alexander Hamilton argued in Federalist No. 84 that listing particular rights could be dangerous, because a government might later claim that any right left off the list had been surrendered. James Madison answered that concern when he introduced his proposed amendments in the First Congress on June 8, 1789. The language that became the Ninth Amendment states that “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” It was ratified with the rest of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791. In plain terms, the Bill of Rights was never meant to be a complete list of what the people keep for themselves.

That idea of rights held by the people, not granted to them, is the whole subject of the obverse. A tall scroll fills the center of the coin, inscribed three times with “We the People” in the flowing script of the Constitution’s opening words. Each line finishes the thought differently. The first, “do ordain and establish,” comes from the Preamble of 1787, where the people create the government. The second declares that the people “are the sovereigns in America.” The third, that the people “can abolish any form of government,” echoes the Declaration of Independence, which asserted the people’s right to alter or abolish a government that becomes destructive of their rights. The date beside the scroll is 1776, the year of the Declaration, not the year of the Constitution, and the script legend “Freedom Forever” balances it on the other side. “THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE” arches across the top and “NINTH AMENDMENT” across the bottom. The issuer’s own product page paired the design with the full text of the amendment, and its site carried a companion essay under the same title, “The Power of We The People.”

The reverse is the common reverse of the Bill of Rights Silver series. The Liberty Bell hangs at the center, its crack and its founders’ mark from Pass and Stow of Philadelphia rendered in fine detail, under the arched legend “CURRENCY OF FREE, SOVEREIGN, INDEPENDENT AMERICANS.” Below the bell, “LIBERTY” is set in large capitals over the issuer’s original web address, the weight and fineness, the AOCS Approved line, and the copyright “© 2009 JLM.” The lower rim carries the line the Meisingers placed on every piece in the series: “GOD GIVES US FREEDOM FROM WHICH ALL OTHER GIFTS FLOW.” Unlike most AOCS rounds, this reverse carries no trade-value denomination.

The round is struck to a proof-like finish, with mirrored fields behind frosted devices that set the scroll and the bell in strong relief. The Meisingers sold it directly through their own website and promoted the series as a community trade medium and a reminder of founding principles. AOCS Mint carried it in its own storefront as part of the “Bill of Rights Silver Series.” The 2010 Bill of Rights Silver Ninth Amendment Proof-Like Silver Round was followed the same year by the [Seventh Amendment]([add 7th Amendment entry URL]) and [Tenth Amendment]([add 10th Amendment entry URL]) rounds, all sharing this reverse.

2010 Bill of Rights Silver Ninth Amendment Proof-Like Silver Round Attribution

No issue year is struck on the obverse; the only year on the reverse is the copyright line “© 2009 JLM,” which belongs to the series’ shared reverse design. The 2010 year of issue comes from the issuer itself: the billofrightssilver.com welcome page states that the series began with the Second Amendment piece in 2009 and that the Ninth Amendment, “The Power of the People,” was minted in 2010. AOCS Mint’s storefront later listed the same round as a 2010 issue.

Issuer and distributor are Bill of Rights Silver, which sold the round through its own website. The struck “JLM” copyright is Janet Lee Meisinger’s, identified by the issuer’s own artwork credit, “© Janet Lee Meisinger for the Bill of Rights Trust.” The struck “AOCS APPROVED” legend places the round in the AOCS program, and it is recorded under AOCS Mint (Frisco, TX) on the site’s standard for AOCS-program rounds. No mark on either face names the physical manufacturer.
