Historical Significance

  • Struck in 1937 to honor the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam (Sept. 17, 1862), one of the bloodiest single days of the Civil War.

  • The battle was pivotal, halting the Confederate advance into Union territory and giving President Lincoln the political momentum to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

  • The Antietam commemorative is part of the classic silver commemorative series (1892–1954) and is especially valued for its strong historical theme.


Mintage & Rarity

  • Mintage: Only 18,028 coins were distributed.

  • Low distribution and limited availability make the Antietam half dollar one of the tougher issues of the classic commemorative series.

  • In MS66, this coin ranks among the finest survivors, with few examples exceeding this grade.
