2014 $1 Silver Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative PCGS PR70 & MS70 2-pc Set w/Ernie Banks Signature
The U.S. Mint’s First-Ever Curved Series Hits a Home Run With Collectors
Never before had the United States Mint attempted something so daring. But if Mint officials were going to do something this dramatic, it only made sense to do it while honoring America’s favorite pastime. In 2014, the U.S. Mint introduced its first-ever curved series commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Baseball Hall of Fame. In a clever and instantly iconic design, the reverse features the outward curve of a baseball, while the obverse shows the inward curve of a baseball glove.
When news broke of this incredible event, it shook the numismatic community. The U.S. Mint creates arguably the most widely collected coins in the world, and the curved Baseball Hall of Fame series is perhaps the most successful commemorative it had ever released with the entire mintage of 400,000 commemorative silver dollars selling out in less than two weeks!
Here we’ve assembled an exclusive set containing both the proof AND uncirculated versions of the commemoratives silver dollar. Plus, each has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in either flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) or Proof-70 (PR70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coins will have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
In addition, each coin has been sonically sealed in its own acrylic holder and encapsulated with an exclusive label personally signed by “Mr. Cub” himself, Ernie Banks! Banks played with the Chicago Cubs as shortstop from 1953 to 1971. He was the first African American player for the Cubs, won two MVP awards and a Gold Glove award, and twice led the entire league in home runs. He’s a legend of the game, and each coin bears his hand-signed autograph.
Plus, each set will come housed in a beautiful presentation case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Only a limited number of sets are available, so don’t strike out; hurry and catch yours while they last. We’ve even pitching in a BONUS coffee table book, Sports Illustrated: The Baseball Book Expanded Edition — an action-packed volume that every baseball fan is sure to enjoy!
