Civil War Stone Mountain Half Dollar Coin Featuring Generals Robert E. Lee And "Stonewall" Jackson - In the early 20th Century as Civil War veterans were aging, a group of businessmen and the Daughters of the Confederacy in Atlanta proposed a grand memorial to Confederate valor at Stone Mountain in Georgia, designed by award-winning sculptor John Gutzon de la mothe Borglum. Though a monument bearing only a slight resemblance to the original design would not be completed for nearly 50 years, the beautiful Stone Mountain Half Dollar created to fund the project would become a lasting testament to Borglum's ambitious vision. Now, at nearly 100 years old, this fascinating coin can be yours with The First Civil War Silver Commemorative Coin, available in an exclusive presentation from The Bradford Exchange Mint.Each genuine, legal tender coin was struck in 90% silver by the historic U.S. Philadelphia Mint in 1925. The reverse bears a naturalistic perched American Eagle and the inscriptions "MEMORIAL TO THE VALOR OF THE SOLDIER OF THE SOUTH", "HALF DOLLAR" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". The obverse features Generals Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson as a preview of the proposed Stone Mountain Monument and 13 stars representing the Confederate states. These incredible coins are presented in rarely found Very Good circulated condition, and, due to their scarcity, they are 369 times RARER than a Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Plus, each arrives secured in a crystal-clear, tamper-proof holder featuring images of Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson and includes a deluxe display box, perfect for presenting and storing your coin collectible or giving it as a unique gift. Strong demand is anticipated, so don't delay.
