Description / LEXINGTON 1925 50C Silver Commemorative PCGS MS66+
Presenting an exquisite specimen for the discerning collector, the **LEXINGTON 1925 50C Silver Commemorative PCGS MS66+** from the Philadelphia mint. This exceptional piece not only celebrates a pivotal moment in history—the "shot heard round the world" that marked the beginning of the American Revolution in Lexington-Concord in 1775—but also stands as a testament to numismatic artistry and historical reverence.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this commemorative half dollar is a prized acquisition in any collection. From an initial mintage of 162,099 coins, only a fraction—such as this certified example graded MS66+—remain in such superb condition. Boasting a high population rarity, there are currently only 56 coins with this grade and a mere 57 known in higher conditions, making it a sought-after treasure for both serious numismatists and casual collectors with an appreciation for American history.
The Lexington half dollar is renowned for its satiny luster, and this particular piece exhibits a captivating frosty white sheen, making it a standout in both display and in value. Its surfaces are remarkably well-preserved, free from the "rub" or wear typical on the obverse's soldier depiction, ensuring a smooth, rounded knee area often elusive in lesser examples.
Moreover, the coin's eye appeal is superb, featuring subtle, even toning that enhances its visual allure without compromising the clarity of its design elements. With MS66 examples being somewhat scarce, this coin represents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece that not only encapsulates a defining moment in American history but also represents the epitome of mint craftsmanship.
Elevate your collection with this distinguished Lexington commemorative half dollar, a symbol of America's rich numismatic heritage.
