Why Make This MS70 First Day of Issue 2020-D Basketball Hall of Fame Domed Commemorative Half Dollar the Next Addition to Your Collection?
The 60th anniversary of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was honored by the U.S. Mint in 2020 with commemorative coins in several denominations. They share a common design and all of them are dome shaped. This 2020-D Basketball Hall of Fame clad half dollar has a brilliant uncirculated finish. A combined mintage limit of 750,000 pieces has been set for these half dollars.
Visually Stunning Basketball Designs
As mentioned, this coin is dome shaped. The concave side in this case is the obverse. The date and mint mark are both located on this side. The design shows three diverse players reaching as far as they can towards a basketball in the air.
The lower portion of the reverse shows the top of a basketball hoop. The basketball in this design, which fits perfectly with this side’s convex surface, is just about to go through the net.
Certified MS70 First Day of Issue by NGC
