2014 Gold $5 Baseball Hall of Fame NGC Mint State 70 Early Release

To mark the 75th anniversary of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the U.S. Mint released a groundbreaking commemorative coin program in 2014 celebrating the legacy of America’s favorite pastime. The collection featured three denominations: a clad half dollar, a silver dollar, and a $5 gold coin—each with a distinctive curved shape, a first in U.S. Mint history that drew immediate attention from collectors and baseball fans alike.

The $5 gold coin proved especially popular, with the entire mintage of 50,000 pieces snapped up within just 24 hours of release. The silver dollar, limited to 400,000 coins, also experienced overwhelming demand, with over 99% of the total mintage quickly claimed. While the half dollar did not sell out, it still achieved impressive numbers—391,454 units sold, making it the best-selling commemorative half dollar since the 1994 World Cup issue.

These coins remain a favorite among modern commemorative collectors for their innovative design and deep connection to American sports heritage. This coin has been certified by NGC in a perfect Mint State 70 condition.
