Owner Comments:
In 2018, a commemorative half dollar was issued to honor Breast Cancer Awareness. This was the 24th half dollar minted in the "Modern Commemorative" era. The obverse of the 2018-D half dollar features two cancer survivors (one younger, with a raised fist, as if ready to fight) and one that is more mature with hands crossed on her breast, as if relieved. The reverse features a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (a symbol of hope) and the inscription "Breast Cancer Awareness."
These half dollars are made from 92% copper and 8% nickel. The 2018-D half is difficult to find in perfect MS70 graded condition. (The number of total graded coins is low.)
