1920 Maine Centennial Half AU
Struck in 1920 to mark a century of statehood, this silver half dollar is a fascinating artifact of American commemorative history. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3617 troy ounces of the precious metal. With a total mintage of just 50,028 pieces, this issue represents a limited and highly focused celebration of a state's milestone anniversary. The obverse features the official coat of arms for the state of Maine. Prominently displayed on this side is the Latin motto DIRIGO, which translates to "I Direct." The reverse of the coin centers on a symbolic wreath that frames the commemorative inscriptions, noting the centennial years of 1820 to 1920. This particular specimen survives in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving the detailed engraving of both the state emblem and the surrounding wreath.
