Greysheet & Red Book® PRICE GUIDE

The 50c Modern Commems, Proof (1982–) series of Commemoratives in the U.S. Coins contains 0 distinct entries.

The U.S. Mint resumed its formal commemorative coin initiatives in 1982 following years of motions in Congress to restart the program that ended in 1954 amid financial abuse scandals. The first commemorative coin issued in the so-called "modern" (1982-present) era was the George Washington half dollar, which also became the first 90% silver coin issued by the United States Mint since 1964. The George Washington commemorative half dollar proved successful, with more than 7 million pieces sold across uncirculated and proof options.

Coins with the "Proof" finish have watery mirrored surfaces with frosted devices (raised areas).
