In Stock
Collectors and investors are fighting over 90% silver half-dollars, each of which is worth many times its face value. No circulating U.S. coin minted since 1964 has had such a high silver content, and the price of silver has fluctuated dramatically within the past few years, adding to the frenzy to own them. Now you can get your fair share before they are gone forever! Some of these iconic coins saw the end of the Great Depression, witnessed World War II and ushered in the space race. Minted in 16 different years, reaching back as far as 1939, there are three designs featured in this collection:
- Famed “Walkers,” the nickname given to one of the most beautiful coins ever designed, the Walking Liberty half-dollar. Over the years, millions have been melted down for their silver content.
- Benjamin Franklin half-dollars, the last series of circulating U.S. coinage minted entirely in 90% silver.
- First-year-of-issue 1964 Kennedy half-dollars, minted just weeks after JFK’s tragic assassination. These were the last 90% silver half-dollars ever issued for circulation.
A Certificate of Acquisition attests to the authenticity of each coin and confirms your ownership. You will also receive, absolutely FREE, a handsome wooden Vault Chest, measuring 15½” x 7¼” x 13¼”, to protect your silver treasury. Secured by lock and key, it has lined compartments for each mintage year. Your coins are encased in crystal-clear hard plastic, for safe handling and easy viewing of both sides, while the impressive “silver brick” housing denotes the year of minting and the weight of each three-coin set in troy ounces.
Your first shipment of three coins, containing 1.1 troy ounces of pure silver, will be followed by additional shipments of three coins, arriving every other month until you own the entire 16-year collection.
Each coin is presented in gently circulated condition so you may appreciate the design details.
