zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 2:30 pm I am wondering if this is a real half-dollar with Booker T. Washington or a commemorative coin. I guess this will help. It is a 1946 if you can not view it in the photo. Thank you for the help. Edited by zakota 04/17/2009 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 3:05 pm Thank you for the information. I was about to punch it in search. I should have done that first. I have both the B.T.W. and the W.C. halves. He had them in with the tokens? Report this Post to the Staff

Those are two of the more common classic commems but still quite collectible. Report this Post to the Staff
