Description

1952-S 50C Washington-Carver Commemorative, MS67 NGC. This exceptional example of the 1952-S Washington-Carver half dollar represents one of the most popular and collected commemorative issues of the early post-war era. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin celebrates the legacy of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, two pivotal figures in American history. The obverse features both profiles, while the reverse displays a cabin symbolizing Washington's birthplace. Graded MS67 by NGC (Certificate #8664088009), this specimen exhibits strong luster and well-preserved strike details characteristic of premium examples from this issue. The 1952-S date is particularly significant within the three-year Washington-Carver commemorative series (1951-1954), making it a key component for collectors seeking a complete set. Coins at this grade level command strong collector demand, as the majority of surviving examples tend to grade lower. With a starting bid of $750, this offering presents an opportunity to acquire a high-quality commemorative that combines historical importance with numismatic appeal. The Washington-Carver series remains a cornerstone of American commemorative collecting, and premium examples such as this continue to appreciate in value.
