Collectible coins are often categorized by their type, origin, and historical significance. The United States has produced various commemorative coins, including the 50 cent pieces known as half-dollars. In 1947, the San Francisco Mint issued silver commemorative coins that celebrated specific events, people, or themes relevant to American history. These coins are sought after by collectors for their silver content, design, and limited mintage, often increasing their value over time.
