U.S. Half-Dollar Coins
(1794 - Current)
U.S. Fifty-Cent coinage, commonly known as the half-dollar, was first issued in 1794 and has played a prominent role in American commerce and coin design for over two centuries. Traditionally struck in silver, the denomination has showcased some of the most celebrated designs in U.S. numismatics, reflecting national ideals, artistic movements, and changing monetary standards. While no longer widely used in everyday transactions, the half dollar remains a cornerstone of U.S. coin collecting and a symbol of America’s rich numismatic heritage.

What is a Type Set in Coin Collecting?
A type set is one of the most exciting and customizable ways to collect coins — instead of hunting every date and mint mark, you collect one example of each major design. It’s a perfect mix of variety, history, and flexibility. Whether you focus on U.S. coins, world coins, or just one denomination, type sets can fit any budget and skill level.
