    This the highest grade "Confederation period" piece I own. It's graded MS-64, Brown and it's ex Newman.

    And I should post one coin bearing a date that is in keeping with the re-enactment.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    162,099 coined, 99 for assay, 86 melted, leaving 162,013 outstanding, which sold at one dollar each. Designed and modeled by Chester Beach. Distributed by Mr. Harold E. Orendorff, the Chairman of the Publicity Committee, for the town of Lexington and the Hon. Judge Prescott Keys for the town of Concord. On February 4, Concord artist Philip Holden sent Chester Beach improved sketches for both sides. A coin in my collection.

    Issued to commemorate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, authorizing an appropriation to be utilized in connection with such observance, and for other purposes.

    Description:
    Obverse: The Minute Man, reproduction of statue at Concord, to right; around border, at top, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; left field, CONCORD MINUTE MAN; right field, IN GOD WE TRUST; at bottom, around border, PATRIOT HALF DOLLAR.

    Reverse: Reproduction of Old Belfry at Lexington, below the words, OLD BELFRY LEXINGTON; as a band around border, LEXINGTON-CONCORD SESQUICENTENNIAL; at bottom, 1775-1925.

    @winesteven... Very nice Lexington half dollar.... Should have added one of those to my commemorative group (assembled for states in which I lived/worked).... I added another Massachusetts coin... forget which one. Cheers, RickO
