1920 Pilgrim Tercentenary Commemorative Half Dollar - XF Details (Cleaned)
Add a historic piece of early U.S. commemorative silver coinage to your collection with this 1920 Pilgrim Tercentenary Commemorative Half Dollar in Extremely Fine (XF) Details – Cleaned condition. Struck from 90% silver and 10% copper, this special half dollar was issued to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims' arrival at Plymouth in 1620.
Designed by Cyrus E. Dallin, the obverse features a portrait of William Bradford, longtime governor of Plymouth Colony, holding a Bible beneath the inscription PILGRIM HALF DOLLAR. The reverse depicts the Mayflower sailing across the ocean, accompanied by the inscriptions PILGRIM TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION, 1620–1920, and IN GOD WE TRUST.
In Extremely Fine (XF) Details condition, this coin retains considerable design definition with moderate to light circulation wear. Bradford's portrait and clothing, the Mayflower, lettering, dates, and other major design elements remain clearly defined.
This example has been Cleaned, meaning its original surfaces were altered through a past cleaning. Cleaning may leave hairlines, unnatural brightness, or other changes to the coin's surfaces and prevents it from receiving a straight numerical grade. Despite this impairment, the coin retains strong XF-level detail and remains an affordable example of an important early American commemorative issue.
With its Mayflower imagery, 90% silver composition, and connection to the 300th anniversary of the Plymouth Colony, the 1920 Pilgrim Tercentenary Half Dollar makes an excellent addition to a classic U.S. commemorative collection or historic American silver set.
