Silver commemoratives are collectible coins issued by the United States Mint to celebrate significant events, individuals, or places. One notable example is the 1939 San Francisco Silver Commemorative half dollar, which commemorates the Golden Gate International Exposition held in San Francisco. These coins are made of 90% silver and are prized by collectors for their historical significance and artistic design. The San Francisco mint struck a limited number of these coins, further enhancing their value and desirability among collectors.
