Comment

The U.S. Marshals Service 225th Anniversary 2015 Proof Clad Half-Dollar coin celebrates the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Marshals Service and honors those Marshals who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

The clad half-dollar’s theme shows how the U.S. Marshals Service is woven into the fabric of American history. It depicts contrasting images of the Old West and modern day Deputy U.S. Marshals, showing the dramatic change from Western wear to tactical equipment.

The US Marshals Half Dollars were struck in both proof and uncirculated versions. The proof coins were produced at the San Francisco Mint and carried the “S” mint mark, while the uncirculated coins were struck at the Denver Mint and carried the “D” mint mark. A maximum authorized mintage of 750,000 was imposed across all product options.

Sales for the coins opened on January 29, 2015, with introductory pricing in effect until March 2, 2015. The half dollars were available individually or as part of a three coin proof set, together with the gold coin and silver dollar from the same program.

The last available sales report from the United States Mint indicated sales of 61,565 individual proof coins, 38,149 individual uncirculated coins, and 14,984 of the three coin proof sets.
