The United States Mint began providing Young Collectors Edition Coin Sets in 1993. One of the first coin sets included the 1993 World War II commemorative clad half dollar.  The coin set package - six inches by six inches by 1/4 inch -  consists of an outer sleeve constructed of card stock printed in color. The inner package, also of color card stock, is folded protecting the coin and providing several surfaces with information about World War II efforts. On the front of the package, Jeremiah and Christina collect an old tire, newspapers and old bottles and cans. Their dog, Charlie, waits to appear on the inner package. The title of the package states, "World War II 50th Anniversary Half Dollar" with "Young Collector's Edition" at the bottom of the package. The back of the outer package includes the Certificate of Authenticity which states:

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
The 1991-1995 World War II 50th Anniversary

This certifies that this coin is a genuine World War II 50th Anniversary Commemorative Coin struck in accordance with legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President George Bush on October 14, 1992 as Public Law 102-414. Produced by the United States Mint, it is legal tender of the United States.
