The 1982 George Washington Silver Half Dollar was the FIRST modern commemorative coin that rekindled collectors' interest in commemoratives! This coin was struck for the 250th birthday of George Washington, former President and the most revered Founding Father. It features Washington surveying on his steed on the obverse, and Mount Vernon along with an eagle holding arrows and branches on the reverse. Struck at the Denver Mint, this piece broke the 28 year streak without commemorative pieces! Not many were struck, as the interest in commemoratives at the time was uncertain.
This half dollar is 100x rarer than the coveted 1964-D Kennedy Half Dollar, and boasts the same 90% Silver composition—and yet it's so much cheaper! This incredible silver piece is complete in its original government packaging in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 1982-D George Washington Half Dollar is an amazing and affordable piece of modern numismatic history, so add one to your collection today!
Highlights:
- (D) mintmark
