Historical Significance
For the Bicentennial, the U.S. Mint gave the quarter, half dollar and dollar special reverse designs, chosen through a national design competition: a colonial drummer on the quarter, Independence Hall on the half dollar, and the Liberty Bell over the Moon on the dollar. About 4 million of these three-coin silver proof sets were produced.
Why We Love This One
