Description
The 1996 (S) Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games Swimming Commemorative Half Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint, is part of the Modern Commemorative Half Dollars (1982-Date) collection. With a mintage of 49,533, this is a scarce issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue and the reverse displays designs varying by commemorative issue. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. Coined at the San Francisco Mint, which transitioned from Gold Rush-era production to its modern role producing proof and collector issues. Auction record: $1,380 MS70 01-01-2009 David Lawrence RC. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 11.34 grams, 30.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9712.
