America's First Commemorative Proof Coin

Product Description

1982 Washington Half Dollar Proof – Don't miss your chance to save on this landmark coin! When the George Washington silver half dollar proof was issued in 1982, it took the collecting world by storm. Minted in honor of our Founding Father's 250th birthday, it marked the end of a dry spell in American numismatics on two fronts – by becoming not only the first commemorative coin issued since 1954, but also the first struck with 90% silver content since 1964. The magnificent proof quality features frosted engravings that contrast beautifully against impressive mirror-finish backgrounds. Limit 1 per household.

Please note that our modern commemoratives are not always available in the original mint packaging.
