The 1935-S San Diego Commemorative Half Dollar was minted at the San Francisco Mint, indicated by the “S” mint mark, to celebrate the California Pacific International Exposition held in San Diego. With 70,132 pieces struck, it had a relatively modest mintage for the commemorative series of that era. This 1935-S San Diego Commemorative Coin has an impressive MS66+ certification that was authenticated by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). Right now, the 1935-S San Diego Commemorative Half Dollar is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1935-S San Diego Commemorative Half Dollar is in Mint State 66+ condition and is authenticated by the CAC. The coin has bright, well-preserved surfaces, with an obverse that offers bold toning around the rim that showcases gold and pale violet colors. The center is largely untoned with a satin luster. The coin’s reverse is largely untoned with a smooth, satin sheen and subtle gold coloring around the periphery.
Coins that have been graded by PCGS or NGC can receive an additional level of verification through CAC. A green or gold CAC sticker indicates that the coin has been carefully reviewed and approved as meeting CAC’s standards for quality within its assigned grade. For buyers, this sticker serves as a clear indicator that the coin stands out as a premium example within its classification. Specifically, green stickers are reserved for coins that are recognized as high-end or strong examples of their numerical grade.
In the obverse design of the 1935-S San Diego Commemorative coin is a depiction of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom. She is positioned in front of the Old Mission San Diego de Alcalá and a seated female figure representing California. The design emphasizes both the Spanish colonial heritage and the classical ideals that the exposition organizers wished to celebrate.
For the reverse of the 1935-S San Diego Commemorative Half Dollar, the design shows the California State Building from the exposition, with the dates of the fair prominently displayed. The architectural detail captures the Spanish Colonial Revival style that was popular in California during this period and characterized much of the exposition’s design.
This coin was issued to raise funds for and promote the 1935-1936 exposition in San Diego, which showcased the city’s culture, history, and economic development. The fair celebrated San Diego’s emergence as a major Pacific Coast city and highlighted California’s connections to Latin America and the Pacific region.
