1951-1954 Carver/Washington Silver Commemorative Half Dollar

Thanks to an opportunity purchase, we’re able to offer you the last two classic commemorative half dollars struck in 90% silver – each in lustrous Uncirculated condition. This half dollar profiles Washington and botanist George Washington Carver, whose groundbreaking research at Tuskegee uncovered the ability of sweet potatoes, peanuts and soybeans to replace lost nutrients; its reverse depicts a simple map of the U.S.A. In 1982, the mint launched the modern commemorative coin program, and our supply of these 70-year-old silver classics is limited.
