    1982 George Washington Half Dollar

    On December 23, 1981 legislation was signed authorizing the Mint to strike not more than 10 million silver half dollars commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of George Washinton. The law specified that the issue was to be dated 1982, but allowed coinage to continue until December 1983. Proofs would be struck at the San Francisco Mint, while frosty Uncirculated specimens would be coined at the Denver facility. Distribution was through the Bureau of the Mint, local banks, and other authorized agencies. The obverse shows Washington on horseback. The reverse bears a rendition of his home at Mount Vernon. The designs were primarily those of Elizabeth Jones, a distinguished artist who was named as chief mint engraver at the Mint. This was the Mint's first commemorative half dollar since 1954.

  2. As always, Mark Feld is always there for a man. This NGC PR 62 CAC Trade $ is on the way.

     

    Mark's description:

     

    1874 Trade Dollar NGC PR62 and CAC approved $1850

    First the bad news - there is a corrosion spot above the first "T" in "STATES" on the reverse. Now for the good news - other than that, the coin is quite nice, with pretty toning and surfaces that look as if they otherwise deserve a higher grade.

     

    Just can't go wrong with any coin from Mark!!!!!!!!!! Very nice addition!!!!!!!!!!! (thumbs u
