1946-S Booker T. Washington Half MS-65 PCGS
This 1946 silver half dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint, stands as a remarkable tribute to Booker T. Washington. The obverse of this commemorative coin displays a detailed portrait of Washington looking toward the right. The design honors his legacy, capturing his likeness on a coin containing 0.3617 troy ounces of silver. The reverse side of the coin tells a powerful story of personal achievement, illustrating the humble log cabin where Washington was born in Virginia. Surrounding this imagery is the inspiring inscription detailing a journey from a slave cabin to the Hall of Fame. This specific piece has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65), preserving the fine details of both the portrait and the historic log cabin illustration.
