1966 Texas Western NCAA Basketball 5-pc Set w/2020 Basketball Hall of Fame Half-Dollar

The Game That Changed Basketball Forever

Watch the 1966 NCAA Championship game now, and you’d wonder what all the fuss was about. But look more closely, and you’ll see that the crowd, the officials, the referees, the coaches, the cheerleaders and most of the sportswriters were all white. Kentucky fans were even waving a Confederate flag. This is because the Texas Western team was the first college team in history to have five African American starters. And Texas Western took home the trophy by defeating Kentucky 72-65.

Played at the height of the Civil Rights Era, the game’s legacy resonates to this day. Now you can add Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) versions of the coins that were struck in America in 1966 during the year of that historic contest. This set contains a Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter and Kennedy Half Dollar. Plus, the entire set comes housed in an exciting 3" x 5" custom display card. As an added bonus, you’ll also receive a 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame Clad Half-Dollar also in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
