1952 50C Washington-Carver, MS

Description

1952 50C Washington-Carver Commemorative, MS67. The Washington-Carver Commemorative Half Dollar series (1951-1954) honors the partnership and achievements of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, two pivotal figures in American history. This 1952-dated example represents a significant entry in the commemorative coinage program of the post-war era, celebrating educational advancement and scientific innovation. Graded MS67 by NGC (Certificate #8663148007), this piece exhibits exceptional eye appeal and preservation for the issue. At this grade level, the coin displays lustrous surfaces with minimal contact marks, allowing the commemorative designs to shine brilliantly. The Washington-Carver halves are particularly sought after by collectors focused on commemorative coinage and African American historical numismatics. The 1952 mintage of 2,006,292 pieces makes this date readily available in circulated grades, though examples at the MS67 level represent notably finer preservation. Commemorative half dollars of this era continue to attract serious collectors for their historical significance and artistic merit. This well-preserved specimen offers both numismatic appeal and historical value to the discerning collector.
