The 1996-S Uncirculated Soccer Commemorative Half Dollar is a fine collectible minted by the San Francisco Mint to honor the spirit of the Olympic Games. This regular strike coin has been crafted with a commitment to excellence in both design and material. Coin specifications: Design: Richard T. LaRoche/Dean McCullen Edge: Reeded Diameter: 30.60 millimeters Weight: 11.34 grams Mintage: 52,836 Mint: San Francisco Metal composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Designed by the talented Richard T. LaRoche and Dean McCullen, the coin features an intricate depiction of two women engaged in a game of soccer on the obverse, symbolizing not just the sport but also the unity and competitive spirit that the Olympics stand for. The inscriptions on this side read "Liberty", "USA Atlanta 1996 XXVI Olympiad", and the time-honored "In God We Trust", beautifully encompassing the essence of the event and the nation. The reverse side boasts a design that captures the essence of the Olympic legacy—a burning flame that symbolizes the enduring spirit of this global event. Accompanying this image are the inscriptions "Half Dollar", "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", "Atlanta", and the commemorative year "1996", which is shared with the Swimming Half Dollar, creating a thematic continuity within the series. Struck with a diameter of 30.60 millimeters and a weight of 11.34 grams, this coin has a reeded edge which provides a classic feel. The composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper center ensures durability and a pleasing heft, suitable for a coin of such significance. With a limited mintage of only 52,836, it remains a sought-after piece by collectors and enthusiasts of Olympic memorabilia alike. The 1996-S Soccer Commemorative Half Dollar is more than just a monetary token; it is a piece of history that celebrates athletic excellence and international camaraderie as epitomized by the Olympic Games.
