Coin Highlights:
The obverse of 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial Gold Coins comes with a depiction of Lady Liberty. The nation’s official allegory is shown here in a flowing robe with a parchment in her left hand representing the Declaration of Independence and a lit torch in her right hand. The sesquicentennial dates are also found on this side of the coin.
On the reverse of 1926 Sesquicentennial Gold Coins, you will find Independence Hall in Philadelphia. US Mint Engraver John R. Sinnock designed the sesquicentennial coin, which came with an authorized mintage of 200,000 coins. Though the mint struck that full number, most were melted down as the coins did not sell well. The announced mintage not melted down was 46,019 coins.
The nation’s celebration was centered in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, where a major exposition was held from June to November. The Sesquicentennial International Exposition featured exhibitions showcasing American industrial progress, technological achievements, and cultural development over the nation’s first 150 years, though it faced financial challenges and lower attendance than anticipated.
These 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial Gold Coins are in plastic flips and come in Extremely Fine+ condition, indicating a high-quality XF coin. The typical coin at this grade has light wear only on the high relief points of the design.
