Coin Highlights:
Each of the 1926 $2.50 America Sesquicentennial Gold Coins available here comes in Mint State 63 condition. Coins with this grade exhibit a slightly impaired mint luster with numerous small contact marks and a few heavier marks present. Small hairlines may also be visible without magnification.
Civic pride and patriotic fervor characterized celebrations across the nation, with communities organizing parades, historical reenactments, and educational programs. Philadelphia spent significant resources renovating historic sites, including Independence Hall. John R. Sinnock, who recently became the 7th Chief Engraver of the US Mint in 1925, designed the Sesquicentennial Gold Coin as an emblem of American history and heritage.
The obverse of the 1926 Sesquicentennial Gold Coin comes with a depiction of Lady Liberty. This standing effigy of Liberty shows her figure holding a torch in one hand and a scroll in the other. Liberty looks toward the torch in her right hand as the scroll unfurls in her left hand. The Sesquicentennial dates of 1776 and 1926 feature on the field.
On the reverse of 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial Gold Coin, you will find an image of Independence Hall. Independence Hall in Philadelphia served as the meeting place where both the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed. Originally constructed as the Pennsylvania State House in 1753, the building housed the Second Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War and later the Constitutional Convention of 1787, making it the physical birthplace of American democracy.
