1925-S California Diamond Jubilee Commemorative 50c PCGS MS64

Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION1925-S California Diamond Jubilee 75th Anniversary Commemorative Half Dollar coin graded by PCGS at MS64. COMMENTSThis 1925-S California Diamond Jubilee Commemorative coin, graded at Near Gem by PCGS, is a stunning example of early 20th-century U.S. commemorative coinage. This particular piece radiates with originality and aesthetic charm, featuring eye-pleasing toning that includes pockets of rainbow coloration. The presence of mahogany-russet and honey-gold tones on both the obverse and reverse creates a beautiful, natural contrast that enhances the coin's overall appeal. The coin was struck to commemorate the 75th anniversary of California's statehood, celebrating its history and heritage. As a classic commemorative issue, it is notable for its design, which features a miner panning for gold on the obverse and a California grizzly bear on the reverse—both symbolic representations of the state's storied past. The MS64 grade means it has very few marks or abrasions, with sharp details and beautiful luster. This coin's particularly sharp and crisp device elements stand out, thanks to the strong mint strike, ensuring the design details—like the miner and bear—are clear and pronounced. The originality of the surfaces, combined with its rich, varied toning, makes it a highly attractive collectible for enthusiasts who value both historical significance and visual beauty.

It was issued to celebrate the 75th anniversary of California statehood. The San Francisco Citizens' Committee wished to issue a commemorative coin as a fundraiser for a celebration of the statehood diamond jubilee. A California congressman attached authorization for it to another coinage bill, which was approved by Congress in early 1925. Designs by sculptor Jo Mora met a hostile reception at the Commission of Fine Arts, but the Citizens' Committee would not change them, and they were approved. The coin has been widely praised for its beauty in the years since.
