<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7810407, member: 101855&quot;]The 1926 Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Half Dollar was struck in very low relief, which had an adverse effect upon its appearance. John Sinnock, who designed the Franklin Half Dollar unveiled his first take on the Liberty Bell here. And yes, Calvin Coolidge was the president when this piece was issued. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1341627[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A commemorative $2.50 gold piece was also issued for this event, but oddly enough many people do not associate the two coins as a set. They were not issued as a set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many collectors and dealers don&#039;t care for this coin. I had one dealer make a cross sign, like when one is fending off an vampire, when I asked if he had one in stock. I guess I&#039;m odd, but I like it. The reverse can be really stunning when you rotate this piece under strong light. The rays behind Independence Hall can look like a rising sun. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1341628[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
