1952 Washington-Carver Half MS-66 PCGS
This mid-century silver half dollar, minted in 1952, represents a distinctive moment in United States coinage. The obverse features the conjoined profiles of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, both celebrated pioneers in American education and science. This dual portrait was crafted by artist Isaac Scott Hathaway, bringing a unique artistic perspective to the fifty-cent denomination. On the reverse, the coin displays a simplified map of the continental United States. Legible inscriptions on the piece emphasize themes of liberty and unity, including the words LIBERTY, GEORGE W. CARVER, and phrases highlighting freedom and opportunity for all. Struck in 90 percent silver, this particular specimen contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. It has survived the decades in exceptional condition, graded as Mint State 66 (MS-66) and secured in a protective certified holder to preserve its outstanding preservation and original luster.
