Product Description

When you take advantage of this deal, you'll save a big $100 off retail and you'll also receive a FREE replica of the Gettysburg Address in a tiny glass bottle. Issued more than a century ago, the 1918 Illinois Centennial half dollar is still a sought after prize, especially in the fantastic Brilliant Uncirculated condition we're offering. Based on a statue created for the state's centennial, its obverse engraving was designed by George T. Morgan and features the man who succeeded in holding the United States together as one nation, Abraham Lincoln – Illinois' most famous adopted son. When this 90% silver half dollar was struck in 1918, it was wildly popular and became the first commemorative to sell all 100,000 of its authorized mintage. Illinois State Seal reverse.
