<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 962468, member: 19765&quot;]One of the best Booker T. Washington&#039;s you will ever see!&nbsp; What amazes me is that nobody seems to like these coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t even think minority collectors like this coin.&nbsp; What&#039;s the&nbsp; story on this half dollar, does anyone really know?</p><p><br /></p><p>Was it because Congress was hussled into having this half commemorative dollar minted in the first place?&nbsp; Was having a black man on a half dollar in the 40&#039;s too much, too soon?&nbsp; Maybe it was before it&#039;s time by at least 30yrs or so.&nbsp; From reading the link the US Mint had some trouble getting these coins out the doors and to the public.&nbsp; All I know is this Booker T. Washington that I have looks just fine, to me!!&nbsp; The Jackie Robinson commemorative is always in demand!&nbsp; What&#039;s your opinion on Booker T half dollars?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/collecting/btw.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/collecting/btw.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/collecting/btw.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
