Silver commemorative coins were issued by the United States Mint starting in 1892, with a significant resurgence occurring in the 1950s. The 1950 Silver Commemorative coins, part of a series celebrating various historical events, figures, and places, include designs such as the Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, and the American National Red Cross. These coins are made of 90% silver and are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, artistry, and relatively low mintage compared to regular circulating coins. The collection from this era spans various themes and commemorates the accomplishments of notable Americans and advancements in U.S. history.
