I recently bought a complete set of US Commemorative silver rounds. Each coin depicts one of the early US commemorative half dollars in one ounce form. It is in a Dansco album. I would like to find out who minted these beautiful silver rounds. Do you have any idea where they may have originated? Hi! I recently bought a complete set of US Commemorative silver rounds.

There are some modern commemoratives that come close to the beauty and appeal, such as the 2005 US Marine Corps silver dollar, but a lot don't even come close. I think that there should be a movement amongst the American people to bring forth commemorative half dollars with significant historical value, like the battles America has fought in or, in emulation of the National Parks quarters, many of the nation's monuments and historic sites. Not parks, but monuments such as the Washington Monument, the Marines Corps Memorial Monument, the Statue of Liberty, and other monuments. The monuments that everyone in the country knows and is familiar with. They are a part of this country's identity that should be even further immortalized in our coinage. I feel it would be better to put them all in a series rather than commemorate things as they come along the pike. Commemorative coinage is important however, and some commemorative coinage is better than none I suppose.

Ever heard of this? It might have been commemerative. I have a 1939D Half Dollar and part of the eagle on the back of the coin is gold. Ever heard of this? It might have been commemerative.

Does it have a dollar value? It sounds to me like you are describing what is referred to as a "silver round". If so it is 1 troy ounce of silver and was not made by the US Mint.
