Description: For sale is a 1997-W $5 Gold commemorative featuring Jackie Robinson. This coin is 90% gold, and has been certified and graded by NGC as Mint State 70. For decades professional sports were strictly segregated in the USA, with African-American baseball players having their own Negro League. It was not until 1947 that this color barrier was broken, when Jackie Robinson was signed to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Despite sometimes viscous harassment of both him and the team that lasted for the next few years, Robinson bravely stepped out to the field time after time, leading the way for players of all races to participate equally in professional sports. 1997 marked the 50th anniversary of this event.
