Description

1950-D 50¢ Booker T. Washington Commemorative Half Dollar, MS67 PCGS. This silver commemorative half dollar represents an important piece of American numismatic and cultural history. Designed by renowned sculptor Isaac Scott Hathaway, the 1950-D issue commemorates the life and legacy of Booker T. Washington, the influential educator and civil rights leader. Struck at the Denver Mint, this example exhibits the superior eye appeal and luster characteristic of the MS67 grade. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 12.5 grams with a diameter of 30.6 millimeters and reeded edge. With a limited mintage of just 6,004 pieces from the Denver facility, this date remains scarce in the commemorative series. The PCGS MS67 grade places this specimen among the finest known examples, with only 8 coins graded higher out of 43 total submissions to PCGS, underscoring its exceptional quality and desirability among serious collectors. This commemorative half dollar combines numismatic scarcity with historical significance, making it an attractive addition to any collection of American silver commemoratives or Booker T. Washington memorabilia.
