1986 Commemorative Half Dollar (Statue of Liberty)

The item presented is a United States 1986 Commemorative Half Dollar coin, celebrating the Statue of Liberty. The coin is housed within a clear, circular plastic capsule, which is then nestled into a royal blue velvet-lined presentation box. A patriotic ribbon, featuring vertical stripes of red, white, and blue, is draped across the coin and pinned into the velvet lining, adding a decorative and thematic touch. The coin itself appears to be made of a golden-hued metal, likely a copper-nickel clad composition as is common for these commemorative half dollars. The visible obverse design features the phrase "LIBERTY" prominently at the top, and part of the date "1986" is visible to the left. The words "IN GOD WE TRUST" are also partially visible along the lower right edge of the coin, consistent with US coinage. A radiant sunburst design is visible behind a central motif, which appears to be a stylized eagle or perhaps a torch, though the full design is not entirely visible. The coin exhibits a bright, uncirculated appearance with no obvious signs of wear, scratches, or significant toning, suggesting it has been well-preserved within its protective capsule. The velvet box itself shows minimal wear, indicating careful handling. This commemorative coin was issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty's dedication, making it a significant historical piece.
