1926 Sesquicentennial Commem Half Dollar (50c)

The 1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar commemorates the 150th anniversary of American independence. With a mintage of 141,120 pieces, this coin represents an important moment in American numismatic history as one of the earlier commemorative half dollars. While not the rarest of the classic commemorative series, finding examples in choice mint state can be challenging.

This CAC-approved MS64 example displays exceptional quality for the grade. The coin exhibits a pleasing silver-gray patina with underlying luster that remains vibrant despite its nearly century-old age. The surfaces show minimal marks for the grade, with strong definition on both the Liberty Bell and the conjoined portraits on the obverse. The eye appeal is excellent, with clean fields and a naturally toned appearance that speaks to its originality. This is a superior example of this historic commemorative issue.
