HALF DOLLAR
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Introduction of Coins
The 1995 Civil War Battlefields Half Dollar was issued along with a $5 gold coin and silver dollar for the preservation of battlefields associated with the Civil War. An artist known for depictions of battle scenes designed all three obverses for the program. 1995 Civil War Battlefields Half Dollars were issued in proof and uncirculated versions, both produced at the San Francisco Mint. The coins were offered for sale individually or within a variety of multi-coin sets, including two-coin, three-coin, and six-coin sets. A Young Collector’s Set was also issued, which included the half dollar coin and information for a younger audience. The US Mint’s annual Prestige Proof Set included the half dollar and dollar coins. The half dollar had an authorized mintage of 2 million coins, but didn’t come close to reaching this level.Read More
