I just bought 4 proofs from the same seller on the bay for $40! $10 a piece is not so bad on the proofs with the COAs in the mint box. I will keep one and gift my nieces and nephew one each

I do like these. They can often be found at or near melt (and I've owned a roll of them in the past), but I like how they seem to have the relatively high relief of the classic commems.

 Ive been stacking these when I can find them for a good price. They really are just a very well designed coin overall.

I didn't realize these were produced over the course of two years.
Look at the jbuck's second image, the last paragraph of the middle column "These coins will be produced during the last half of 1982 and the first half of 1983."
Edited because I realized they don't have a year date on them.

I could be wrong but I think the stamp was just added by someone to add some flair

Quote: Think they also made a clad version. No clad version of this commemorative was released by the US Mint -- only 0.900 fine silver coins. It is one of two silver half-dollars of the modern series, the 1993 Bill of Rights half-dollar is the other.
