      General Notes: The 1949 Booker T. Washington half dollar marks the fourth year of this commemorative type, designed by acclaimed African American artist Isaac Scott Hathaway. This coin marks an interesting numismatic milestone, not only as the first U.S. coin designed by an African American, but also given its issuance during -- period when the American civil rights efforts were really gaining steam -- and gathering across the American community. <BR><BR> BTW half dollars were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints in 1949, but all of these pieces are common uncirculated grades. However, examples grading MS67 or better are quite scarce, particularly due to the flat surfaces across the coin that attract highly evident surface marks.
