My dad's always had a soft spot for half-dollars. Franklins are his favorite, and he has a complete set of those back home. I thought I'd get him something this year that he doesn't already have, though. Not the best pictures, but I don't anticipate getting a chance to take better before I give it to him. It's toned rather nicely, pretty uniform throughout.   |

Awesome gift! Your dad is lucky!
Make sure you read up on the columbian half dollar and the classic commemorative series history.
It's almost a sure thing that the combination of the excellent gift from his kid and a history lesson will get him hooked!

great stuff...not to steal thunder from you but I got my dad a 1947 Walker in MS61 since that's his birth year. Well, my mom is gifting it to him but I sourced it for her. Its a great feeling, glad to share with someone that did the same.

History? Charles Barber designed the obverse and George Morgan the reverse. No wonder this half captivates us all! |
