Item is one 1982 US Mint George Washington Half Dollar. This is a 90% Silver Cameo Proof Commemorative Half Dollar Coin.It comes with COA in original Purple mint packaging.These 1982 George Washington silver dollars were introduced in order to commemorate George Washington’s 250th birth date. Elizabeth Jones was the designer of this coin.
The last time the U.S. Mint produced a commemorative coin was in 1954, when it produced the Washington-Carver half dollars. Due to the 28 year hiatus, the US Mint anticipated a large demand for the new 1982 George Washington commemorative silver dollars.
Coin design:
Obverse: On the obverse of the coin George Washington is portrayed on top an elegant horse. His name (George Washington) is prominently arched above the obverse of the design. The inscription 250th ANNIVERSARY OF BIRTH-1982 is arched towards the bottom of the coin.
The word Liberty is also on the obverse of the coin, located towards the left of the central design. The initials “EJ” are located behind Washington’s lower back. The “S” mint mark is located to the right of the coins design and right above the date 1982.
