Basketball has been an American pastime for over a century! To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020, the United States Mint released these special colorized Basketball Hall of Fame Half Dollar coins. These coins had a limited mintage of 75,000 pieces, so they're an uncommon find. This was the first-ever colorized coin released by the U.S. Mint. With each original purchase, the U.S. Mint donated to the Hall of Fame to further their efforts of educating and programming!
The standout obverse design of the coin shows an in action shot of three players in the heat of a game, while the reverse shows a basketball about to swish through a hoop. The basketball is vibrantly colorized in orange and black, and features the pocked texture of a basketball! The 2020 Colorized Basketball Half Dollar Coin has a curved convex design, and is only the third commemorative to utilize this modern minting technology. Each clad coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint with a stunning proof finish. Secure this winner of a commemorative coin in its original condition and government packaging for an amazing deal today!
