Hi Steve:
I think, this is the First Commemorative Half Dollar, after a long time.   
The Half Dollars issued by the Mint are affordable and  beautiful.

It is by giving others, we actually receive from G

I have several -- both uncirculated and proof.

I gave one or two away for a "Secret Santa" prize.
