1946-1951 90% Silver Booker T. Washington Half Dollar Memorial Silver Coin - Off-Quality

The US Mint introduced the Booker T. Washington Memorial Half Dollar in 1946 as a commemorative silver issue with legal tender status, continuing its annual release through 1951. 

Although authorized as a circulating half dollar, it was primarily distributed to collectors, making it a distinctive piece within mid-20th-century U.S. coinage.

This coin pays tribute to Booker T. Washington, an influential figure whose life and work shaped American history. Born into slavery in Virginia in 1856, Washington rose from humble beginnings to become a respected educator, author, and leader, advancing education and opportunities for African Americans.

Today, SD Bullion offers 1946-1951 90% Silver Booker T. Washington Half Dollar Memorial Coins, randomly selected from our inventory at the time of shipping.
