Thanks to you all, and sorry for the hazy pic but this is the best i could do with the coin placed in its pack.

The coin looks more beautiful than the pic

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.

I have several -- both uncirculated and proof.

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