The 150th Anniversary Commemorative Seated Liberty .999 Silver Half
struck on Press #1 is shipping.
Saw this ad in Coin World and ordered one on August 17.
Got a phone call yesterday to complete the order and it is being shipped. Not cheap but a good cause. I forgot to ask how many were still available.
Attached is from their web site.
Saw this forum and ordered one about a month ago, they were sold out but took the order and processed it when new blanks arrived for minting. Just received it, I think they are pretty nice.
There is an amazing collection of Carson City minted coins on display at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City. Scroll up my linked thread which includes photos I took of the collection:
The Proof half-ounce .999 fine silver commemorative medal was designed by Nevada State Museum Director Myron Freedman and sculpted by retired U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Thomas D. Rogers Sr., who was in attendance to autograph the display cards into which the plastic-capsuled medals were secured.
The obverse of the medal depicts Coin Press #1, while on the reverse is an image of the Carson City Mint building and a portrait of the facility’s founder and first superintendent, Abraham Curry.
Freedman said approximately 500 of the 30-millimeter medals were struck Feb. 4 after ceremony participants paid the requisite $75 to secure an unstruck planchet.
Several hundred more medals were expected to be struck Feb. 5, 6 and 7 for visitors, Freedman said.

Me with the Silver Queen in Virginia City Nevada, made of 3261 Carson City minted silver dollars:
WOW! And she is pretty too.
