>The Stone Mountain Memorial half dollar was an American fifty-cent piece struck in 1925 at the Philadelphia Mint. Its main purpose was to raise money on behalf of the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association for the Stone Mountain Memorial near Atlanta, Georgia. Designed by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, the coin features a depiction of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on the obverse and the caption: "Memorial to the Valor of the Soldier of the South" on the reverse. The piece was also originally intended to be in memory of the recently deceased president, Warren G. Harding, but no mention of him appears on the coin.
I've collected two. One i bought from apmex the other i bought from a private seller.
They have about 0.3617oz of silver content which is worth about $34 today 1-19-26 at today's spot prices. They usually sell at a numismatic premium because of the single date of minting (1925) and scarcity. For a good quality one in XF condition you probably pay $50 above the silver content / melt value. So they fetch about $75 on the market.
I like to collect half dollars. capped bust half dollars, seated liberties, walking liberties, barbers, commemoratives.
