History

The George Washington 250th Anniversary half dollar was the first modern United States commemorative coin.^[2] Production of traditional commemorative coins had previously ended in 1954 with the Carver-Washington half dollar.^[3]

Production and sales

Public Law 97-104 authorized a total mintage of 10,000,000 coins.^[4] Two varieties of the coin were produced, one with a proof finish (struck at the San Francisco Mint with the "S" mint mark) and one with an uncirculated finish (struck at the Denver Mint with the "D" mint mark). A total of 4,894,044 proof and 2,210,458 uncirculated coins were produced and sold.^[5]
