Sorry for the confusion, I see now that I spelled Dolly as Dollie. Old age sucks.

Man, this is a beautiful coin! Looks like her name is actually spelled "Dolley". I learned something new today.

There are many good designs in the modern dollar series, here is a link to a thread with them all to 2012.

She is just such a beautiful coin. I love women on a coin and she fills out the coin nicely.

Silver proofs in original mint packaging are readily available for about thirteen or fouteen bucks on eBay--a steal, as far as I'm concerned. In fact I've thought about stacking them. I love both their design and their price.

I just logged in to my Littleton account and my coin is still "Pending Fulfillment". It was ordered on Feb 22. *sigh*

Thank you for bringing that post back. We newer members don't know about those wonderful older posts.

First congrats on the purchase! I actually picked up both the proof and uncirculated way back when the mint was offering them. I've had mine in the collection since 1982... Thought I'd share a shot of both for you..

I just bought a Washington silver 1982 commem. half dollar on ebay for buy-it-now $5.99. The auction stated the seller didn't know anything about it and just knew you aren't supposed to touch them so she left it in the plastic case, which was insanely yellowed and scratched all up. When I got it, I couldn't even see inside it on the obverse, and on the reverse I could barely make out Mount Vernon. I carefully cracked it open to find a 1982S absolute terriffic coin staring back at me. I figured if the coin was bad, it's still worth more than I paid in silver, but this was a good buy! It's in my Dansco now.

I guess I mite as well show mine too
It looks DCam.. complete black on white, and the little white dots arn't milk spots, there just dust stuck in the 2x2, not blemishes. This one was from Littleton too,I was surprised it was in such good shape, I've considered sending it in for grading.. probably not worth it though. I absolutly love the design of these!I was definitely happy with this one when it came in.

Nice looking commemorative! This was the half dollar that started me on the modern commem. collection. My pic shows milky areas but that's actually just dust or something in the pic. The coin itself is very sharp.

SkyShark124- ya I figured that was dust on yours and the other as well, same with mine, it shows up like a neon sign on these! yours looks great too (also the top set!) I love the black on white look, it doesn't show this contrasted on other coins, for some reason on this one it really sticks out! I really like the UNC version too, the colors great, it just looks unbelievably nice! I may have to get one of those now too. I was born in 1982, so that was another reason I wanted this one so bad, and was happy to find it in that promo for $9.95 shipped, especially in this condition!

Come on everyone else, lets see um!
