1926 American Sesquicentennial Silver Half Dollar 50C Commemorative Coin Cull

Bullion Exchanges now offers the 1926 American Sesquicentennial Silver Half Dollar 50C Commemorative Coin Cull - a historic early US commemorative with genuine character and collectible appeal. Struck in .900 fine silver at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin was issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 

The 1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar is well known for its unusually low-relief design, a feature that drew criticism at the time of release and contributed to disappointing public reception. Authorized for a maximum mintage of 1,000,000 coins, the US Mint struck the full allotment in anticipation of strong demand. However, the coin failed to gain popularity and was sold to the public at $1 each, resulting in sales of only 141,120 coins. The vast majority of the remaining pieces were later melted. Ironically, the very lack of enthusiasm that once hindered this issue is what ultimately makes it one of the scarcer and more desirable classic US commemorative coins today.
