Maine Centennial Half Dollar

[staninbji]

I found this at a park in Bangor, Maine that used to have a school on it. It was down about 8" and back under a tree root. There were only 50,028 minted in 1920. 28 of those were for the treasury department and were later destroyed. Thanks for looking and HH!
