<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 149535, member: 4626&quot;]Almost 5 million were minted, would hardly call it rare, lol... I think the only proof commemorative half dollar that&#039;s more common was the 1986 Statue of Liberty half (about 7 million).</p><p><br /></p><p>Still a nice looking coin though... value just never picked up because it was minted so heavily.&nbsp; The mint had finally got back into the commemorative business but overestimated the market a bit.&nbsp; Nowadays they tend to limit commemoratives to the 250,000 to 500,000 range.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m trying to complete a collection of modern commemorative halves myself... recently picked this one up because was dirt cheap, a&nbsp; nice looking coin, and marked the beginning of US modern commemoratives!&nbsp; The first commemorative minted since the George Washington Carver / Booker T. Washington half in 1954, considered the last classic commemorative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
