Commemorative Silver
1925 50C Vancouver -- Harshly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. Rivière du Loup, Quebec native, physician, North West Company partner, and later Hudson Bay Company trader Dr. John McLoughlin founded Fort Vancouver, Washington in 1825 -- an event commemorated by these half dollars. Although 50,028 examples were originally minted, only 14,994 pieces were distributed. This representative has the sharpness of an Uncirculated coin, but both sides show evidence of a harsh cleaning in the form of myriad hairlines.
