Silver commemoratives are a type of collectible coin produced to honor significant events, people, or places in American history. The United States mint issued these coins beginning in the late 19th century, with notable examples from the 1930s. In 1937, several silver commemoratives were released, including the Colorado Centennial half dollar, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of Colorado's statehood. These coins are crafted from 90% silver and often feature intricate designs that reflect the commemorative theme. Collectors highly value them for their historical significance and artistic merit.
