1982 S/D Washington Half Dollar 90% Silver Commem Proof/BU (w/Box & COA)

Proof From San Francisco or BU From Denver, in Original Mint Packaging

The 1982 S/D Washington half dollar is a .900 fine silver commemorative containing 0.3617 troy ounces of silver, supplied either as a Proof with the S mint mark or as a Brilliant Uncirculated coin with the D mint mark. Either version comes in its original U.S. Mint box with a certificate of authenticity. Since the packaging dates to 1982, boxes may show some wear from age.

Two Mints, One Commemorative

The 1982 half dollar honored the 250th anniversary of George Washington's birth and was produced for collectors. San Francisco struck the proof version, while Denver struck the uncirculated version, giving collectors a choice of finish. The obverse shows Washington on horseback with his name and the anniversary noted, and the reverse depicts his Mount Vernon home with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and IN GOD WE TRUST. Each coin carries a 50-cent face value.
