1952 Washington-Carver Half, MS67+
Colorfully Toned, Sharp Strike

1952 50C Washington-Carver MS67+ PCGS. The conjoined profile portraits of George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington are better struck on this high-end Superb Gem than are usually seen. This issue was struck from 1951 to 1954 and it marks the end of the classic commemorative series. Some 3.4 million pieces were authorized by Congress for the issue, although far fewer coins than that were actually distributed. About half of the silver for the Washington-Carver pieces came from undistributed 1946 to 1951 Booker T. Washington half dollars. Overall, the Washington-Carver coins were not well-struck and were carelessly handled at the Mint, making high-end Superb Gem examples in great demand today. This colorfully toned MS67+ PCGS example is boldly struck and highly lustrous. Concentric bands of gold, blue, and pinkish-red color provide outstanding eye appeal. PCGS Population for the 1952 Philadelphia issue: 16 in 67+, 1 finer (3/26).(Registry values: N1793)
