The 1982 George Washington Commemorative Half Dollar, struck to honor the 250th anniversary of Washington's birth, boasts a mintage of 4,913,000 coins, making it a common date within the series. Designed by John Mercanti, the coin features a detailed portrait of Washington on the obverse and a depiction of Mount Vernon on the reverse, reflecting the historical significance of the first President of the United States. This example is particularly attractive, showcasing excellent luster and minimal contact marks, which enhances its appeal to collectors seeking high-quality specimens. As a modern commemorative, it holds a special place in the hearts of numismatists, often sought after for registry sets and as a representation of American history. With its relatively high mintage, it remains accessible, yet well-preserved examples like this one are increasingly appreciated for their aesthetic and historical value.
