Thanks for the info. It's hard for me to shell out that much cash just to have a MS69 set If your doing a half dollar set for PCGS coins only the washington and the Army half will carry much of a premium as theyre the top pops for the series, the rest you could get pretty cheap |

Hi,
Quite new to this, so after some advice please.
I like the look of the Washington Half dollar and want to look out for it as it was sent out from the mint rather than slabbed.
Does anyone know how it was originally presented? e.g. in a box, case etc.
Many thanks
Andy

I just recently bought my first 1982 proof silver Washington half. What I like best about this coin is that Mt. Vernon is shown as a 3/4 view. That, and the fine detail on the depiction of Washington and the horse.

I bought a bunch of these in the brown box a while back. I haven't considered sending them out for grading. However if the price remained around $800-$1000 I would be more inclined to send them in and see what I get back.

I haven't considered sending them out for grading. I personally wouldnt. The risk reward just really isn't there, let someone else take the risk. One 69 would probably pay for the lot but with prices in the mid 100s its unlikely you would get enough to make it worth the risk. The 68s only sell for mid 20s |

@jbuck: Always meant to get back to this post and comment on your original GW half-dollar sales brochure...
I'm jealous! It's a piece of modern commemorative ephemera that I do not have but wish I did!

Yes, that ebay auction is for the proof version of the coin. It is also available in an uncirculated version in a blue-ish colored box. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
