Coin Highlights:

• PCGS gave these coins a perfect MS70 grade.
• Each coin ships in its PCGS slab with a Cal Ripken label.

Cal Ripken was baseball’s Iron Man, playing in a record-breaking 2,692 consecutive games at one point during his career. His longevity and reliability helped him set that mark and break Lou Gehrig’s 56-year-old record that many believed would never be matched. Ripken is the son of Cal Ripken Sr., who played and managed in the Baltimore Orioles association during his own career.

This 2014 $1 Baseball Hall of Fame Silver Coin has been graded MS70 by the Professional Coin Grading Service, indicating the coin is considered perfectly struck. The “P” mint mark signifies the coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The Cal Ripken label included in the packaging of this coin bears his player photo, name, and a reproduction of a signature.

On the reverse side of each coin is the 3D rendering of a baseball, complete with the stitching and engravings “United States of America” and “E Pluribus Unum.” The design on this side is the first-ever curved design on a US Mint coin. The obverse side shows the open palm of a baseball glove, with engravings of “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and “2014” inside the mitt.

The US Mint held an open contest among designers and artists to gather concepts for the Baseball Hall of Fame coin series. Cassie McFarland’s design was chosen to appear on the coins on September 4, 2013.
