Modern Commemorative 50C ALL
2020 S BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME PF

Owner Comments:

In 2020, a commemorative half dollar was belatedly issued beyond it's scheduled release date to honor the 60th anniversary of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. It is the 26th half dollar minted in the "Modern Commemorative" era. This coin, like the Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative, was struck in a unique domed or concave/convex shape (3rd time this shape was used to produce a commemorative). The obverse of the 2020-S half dollar features three players reaching for a basketball -- one male, one female, and one in a wheelchair. The reverse is a cool, domed image of a basketball falling inside the rim of the bucket/net.

These half dollars are made from 92% copper and 8% nickel.
