The 2001-P Capitol Visitor Commemorative Half Dollar, presented in proof with a Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish, was struck at the Philadelphia Mint to honor the 200th anniversary of the United States Capitol Building. After a five-year hiatus in the commemorative half dollar program, this coin marks a return to celebrating pivotal moments and monuments in U.S. history. The design work by Dean McMullen, Alex Shagin, and Marcel Jovine encapsulates the architectural magnificence and historical significance of the Capitol. Product Specifications: Designer: Dean McMullen (obverse), Alex Shagin and Marcel Jovine (reverse) Mint: Philadelphia Mintage: 77,962 Metal Composition: Clad, with 75% Copper and 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Diameter: 30.60 millimeters Weight: 11.34 grams Edge: Reeded Issue Date: February 28, 2001 Design Details: Obverse: Likely features an artistic rendering of the Capitol Building or related symbolism that reflects its importance as the seat of the U.S. legislature. Inscriptions include "Liberty," the minting year "2001," and "In God We Trust." Reverse: The design probably includes elements that celebrate the Capitol's role in American democracy, potentially featuring iconic aspects of the building's architecture. The standard coinage inscriptions "United States of America" and "Half Dollar" would denote the nation and the coin's denomination. The 2001-P Capitol Visitor Proof Half Dollar is a symbolic piece for numismatists, historians, and those who cherish American democracy and architecture. With its limited mintage and proof quality, the coin is a significant collectible that commemorates the convening of the Capitol and the bicentennial of one of the most iconic buildings in the United States.
