The Lexington half dollar remembers the shot heard 'round the world, when in 1775 the proverbial first gunshot fired during the start of the American Revolution at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, and the first British soldiers were wounded in the battles of Lexington and Concord. More than 160,000 coins were minted, and a whopping 60,000 were sold for $1 as souvenirs during associated 150th anniversary events in April 1925. Others were distributed through sales points in other areas of New England and were sold to collectors throughout other parts of the United States.
Lexington half dollars, designed by Chester Beach, are often found in the grades of MS63-65, and MS66s are scarce but available on the marketplace, while examples in higher grades are quite rare. Most uncirculated specimens carry lustrous surfaces and offer excellent eye appeal. One nuance of this coin is that some pieces show rub on the knee on the soldier as seen on the obverse, a detraction that can be avoided with some searching.
