2020-P $1 Silver Basketball Hall of Fame Colorized Proof

U.S. Mint’s Basketball Silver Dollar Proof Is a Slam Dunk!

From the time the first game was played with peach baskets nailed to the walls at either end of a gymnasium to today’s high-flying, rim-rattling dunks, basketball has evolved from an activity played at a lone YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts to a multi-billion dollar global sport played by some of the world’s greatest athletes. To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020, the United States Mint released its Basketball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Program that features a series of curved coins depicting a trio of players on one side and a detailed basketball going through a basket on the domed reverse side.

In this offer you can score the Basketball Hall of Fame Silver Dollar Proof that was expertly crafted at the Philadelphia Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Plus, each is struck in highly pure 99.9% fine silver! Like the Baseball Hall of Fame series that came before it, the curved nature of this coin serves to accentuate the look of a round ball. Its domed basketball reverse is so detailed you can see the hundreds of little “pebbles” that dot the surface just like a real basketball. You’ll almost feel like palming this “rock” and jacking up a three-pointer!

What makes these coins even more significant is the fact that they are the FIRST colorized coins produced by the United States Mint. Each depicts a basketball with black channels about to pass through a white net and an orange rim. The maximum mintage for the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame Colorized Silver Dollar in either proof or uncirculated condition has been set at 75,000. Each coin available here will come in official government packaging from the mint and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame opened in 1959 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Within its inaugural class was its namesake Dr. James Naismith, who invented the sport in 1891 to give some of his young men at the Springfield YMCA something to do during the cold New England winter. At that time the game was called “Basket Ball” and soon caught on across the country. Today, more than 175 people have been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame including legends like George Mikan, Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlin, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Michael Jordan.
