Many people collect modern U.S. commemorative coins for the pure joy of collecting.

Since 1982, there were 29 uncirculated commemorative half dollars created. I recommend the following coins (not certified by a grading service) for their upside profit potential.

• Clad 1996-S Half Dollar, Olympic Soccer, Unc. price $35, 52,836 minted.
• Clad 2020-S Half Dollar, Basketball colorized, Unc. price $45, 13,635 minted
