United States of America, 1977 Kennedy Half Dollar Proof

From almost the other side of the world, or Australia to be exact, we offer King George VI Silver Sixpences that were struck during World War II. They are dated between 1939-1945 and are in selected circulated condition. An Australian friend sold them to us. Not an easy coin to find, as many of them were melted down after the Second World War. We think this is the first time we have offered them. Second World War, silver and King George VI have a lot going for them and they are Sterling Silver.

Steve just found a group of 1992 Kennedy Half Dollars in Proof condition. There are not many in stock, so if you want it, get it now!

In 1971 the US Mint decided to mint new silver dollars. It is said that this was done to placate the casinos in Las Vegas. We don’t know about placating anyone... We love Las Vegas, the original Disney Land for adults. This was the first United States silver dollar struck since 1935, it was struck in 400 fine Silver Proof and it honoured Dwight David Eisenhower or ‘Ike’ as he was known. Ike was not only the Commander in Chief during World War II but he was also President of the United States for two terms. We have for sale a beautiful silver proof examples of this ‘new’ Silver Dollar dated 1971, that of course was 50 years ago. Still reasonably priced and it has a most interesting history.
