The George Washington Carver Commemorative Half Dollar Series ran from 1951 to 1954 and was initially conceived as a continuation of the Booker T. Washington series, eventually becoming a joint commemorative featuring both prominent educators. The series was authorized to raise funds for the Carver-Washington Monument and was struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints. This 1952-D specimen from the series boasts a strong MS66+ certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, the 1952-D Washington-Carver Commemorative Half Dollar is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1952-D Washington-Carver Commemorative Half Dollar is in Mint State 66+ condition. The coin’s obverse is mostly untoned and offers a bright, satin luster across the design field and devices, while the reverse is equally brilliant with a light, even pale-gray toning across the background fields.
The 1952-D Washington Carver Commemorative Half Dollar was struck at the Denver Mint with a mintage of 8,006 pieces. This issue from the second year of the Carver-Washington series carries the “D” mint mark and was part of the ongoing fundraising effort for the Carver-Washington Monument. The 1952 issues are among the more available dates in the series due to relatively consistent sales to collectors.
For the obverse of the 1952-D Washington-Carver Commemorative Coin, the design field features conjoined right-facing busts of both Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, with Carver positioned in front. Designed by Isaac Scott Hathaway, the dual portrait symbolizes the partnership and shared legacy of these two influential African American educators and scientists.
In the reverse design of the 1952-D Washington-Carver Commemorative Half Dollar, the design depicts a map of the United States with the inscription of USA across the design field. The inscriptions include FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL and AMERICANISM.
