nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15457 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 8:36 pm Good score at the bank. Color me green with envy. The Peace dollars look authentic from here ... Quote: Could somebody give me information on the Booker T. Washington half, the reason it was minted, and its value? Minted over six years (1946 - 1951) at all three active mints ... the 18 coin date/mm Booker T Washington (BTW) half dollar series is a part of the 144-coin classic US silver commemorative set. Your BTW is 90% silver and struck to the same weight, size and purity standards as any other 90% silver USA half dollar ... that is nominal weight of 12.5 grams, 30.6 mm diameter and 90% silver/10% copper. The coin was struck to commemorate the life and accomplishments of educator Booker T. Washington. I suggest you check for the presence of a mint mark on your 1950 BTW ... look on the reverse at the 6pm position ... directly above the letter "R" of LIBERTY and below the image of the slave cabin in which BTW was born. Willing to guess based on strike quantities that you find an "S" ... 1950 mintage figures were ... Philly ... 12,004 coins Denver ... 12,004 coins San Francisco ... 512,091 coins Like many (most) classic silver commemorative the BTW is relatively low in value relative to the mintage totals ... just not many collectors and hence low demand. In average circulated condition (XF - AU) this is a $15 - $20 coin. In MS63 ... maybe $35. Nice find for 50 cents. Hoping my info helped. Sooo ... what is the mintmark?

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 9:43 pm It seems like the BTW is one of the more common classic commems to find roll hunting. Report this Post to the Staff
TheDanMan Pillar of the Community 527 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 10:34 pm Thanks for your input, guys. I really appreciate it, and there is no mintmark, so it's a Philadelphia. Report this Post to the Staff
TheDanMan Pillar of the Community 527 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 12:30 am I take that back. There is a mintmark; I noticed an S, so it is from San Francisco. And I took the two Peace dollars to my local coin shop, and one of the dealers said that they are authentic, but that they have been polished. Report this Post to the Staff
