2003 First Flight Half Dollar
The 2003 First Flight Half Dollar rounded out the offerings related to the First Flight Centennial Commemorative Coin Program, which also included a silver dollar and $10 gold coin. These three coins were the only commemoratives dated 2003, available for sale from August 1, 2003 to July 31, 2004.
The obverse of the half dollar features Wright Monument located at Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The inscriptions include “Liberty”, “In God We Trust”, “Wright Monument”, and the date “2003”. This was designed by John Mercanti.
The reverse features an image of the Wright 1903 Flyer making it historic first powered manned flight. Orville Wright is aboard the Flyer with Wilbur on the ground below. The inscriptions include “United States of America”, “E Pluribus Unum”, and “Half Dollar”. The reverse was designed by Norman E. Nemeth.
The First Flight Half Dollars had a maximum authorized mintage of 750,000 across all options, but only managed to sell a fraction of this amount. Despite having one of the lowest mintages for a modern commemorative half dollar, the coins do not carry a significant premium. The proof and uncirculated versions were both produced at the Philadelphia Mint and offered for sale individually.

Shipping and Delivery
We pride ourselves on prompt delivery. If a coin is purchased on the website or over the phone and PayPal is the payment method, we will make every effort to send it the following day. Exceptions to this will be when we are at a show, in which case the coin(s) will ship when we return to the office. If check or money order is the payment method, we will deposit the check/money order and ship once payment has cleared.
All of our shipments are USPS Priority mail or FedEx (depending on value). Signature confirmation is required for packages valued at $250 or above. We believe this is the best way to protect all parties from lost or stolen packages. Of course all packages are insured for the full purchase price. Tracking information will also be provided.
Returns
All coins we sell come with a no questions asked 30 day return privilege. We simply ask you let us know if a coin is being returned before the thirty days have expired. The last thing we want is someone to be unhappy with a coin purchase and will gladly issue a prompt refund once the coin is returned in its original holder and condition.
On a related note, if there is a coin you are upgrading and originally purchased from us, we are always elated to buy back the duplicate coin based upon current market value. Please contact us for further details.
