# 141 - Lexington-Concorde

in #steemsilvergold8 years ago (edited)

Continuing our series of the American Half Dollars Commemoratives, we will today present the 1925 "Lexington-Concord".

As all the commemorative half dollars, it weights 12,5g with a 90% silver purity.

This coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which took place in Massachusetts between American patriots and British soldiers on April 19, 1775, the day after Paul Revere's famous ride.

On the reverse we see the Minute Man statue.

The obverse depicted the Old Belfry, which alerted the Minute Man to action in 1775, at Lexington.

A total of 162,013 coins were distributed. The actual price is around U$325.00 in this grade.

This series will continue very soon.

I hope you have enjoyed this article.

Another nice coin here @ronaldoavelino.

I don't know if you saw my message on discord. I want you to know I may not be as active on steemit until this time next week. I have a law bar exam upcoming. I look forward to speaking with you more when that is completed. Be well until then my friend.

We still have much to learn from each other and much to accomplish... I'm very excited.

I noticed your absense from steemit. I hope you will be very successful in your upcoming exams and it is always a pleasure to talk to you. See you next week.

Did you notice... it says Patriot Half Dollar! Yes, truly... the patriots of old were farmers, and that is why I love this figure of a colonial farmer with musket.
