Professional baseball in the United States is the oldest of the four major professional sports leagues in the country. The National League and American League formed separately of one another in 1876 and 1901, respectively, and by 1903 had agreed to cooperate competitively as a single league while remaining independent entities. As a part of the American experience, baseball was honored by the United States Mint in 2014 with its first-ever curved coin. Today, you can buy the 2014-P $1 Baseball Hall of Fame Silver Coin online at Provident Metals in near-perfect condition.
Highlights:
To produce its first-ever curved silver coin, the United States Mint sought the technical assistance and advice of both the Perth Mint and Royal Australian Mint. When first issued, the three curved coins the US Mint issued honoring the Baseball Hall of Fame came with surcharges that were authorized to be paid to the National Baseball Hall of Fame to support that organizations efforts to preserve the history of the game in this country.
Obverse
The obverse face of the 2014-P $1 Baseball Hall of Fame Silver Coin includes a concave, sunken surface with a depiction of a fielding glove. Inscriptions on this face of the coin include Liberty, In God We Trust, and the date mark of 2014.
Reverse
On the reverse side of 2014-P $1 Baseball Hall of Fame Silver Coins is a depiction of a baseball complete with two of the stitched seams. This field of the coin is convex, or domed, and perfectly captures the round appearance of a baseball. Inscriptions on this side include United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, and One Dollar.
