Description
Shining MS67 1947 Booker T. Washington Half
1947 50C Booker T. Washington MS67 PCGS. CAC. The 1947 Booker T. Washington halves from all Mints are among the most heavily melted classic commemoratives by percentage; out of an original mintage of 100,000 pieces each plus assay coins, only about 6,000 sets were sold, with the rest melted--over 90% of the original mintage!

Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (6/09).From The Louis Bassano Collection of U.S. Commemoratives.(Registry values: N1793)
