Most of the info below comes from: https://earlycommemorativecoins.com/
"Commemorative coins were first issued by the United States Mint in 1892 to mark the World’s Columbian Exposition. The silver half dollars depicting Christopher Columbus were sold at the expedition for one dollar each. In subsequent years, the US Mint would continue the tradition of issuing gold and silver commemoratives to honor the important people, places, and events of the country.
Early commemorative coins were issued between the years 1892 and 1954 and have included primarily silver half dollars and gold dollars."
I will show the series "Silver Early Commemoratives". It will be presented in alphabetical order.
All coins weight 12.5g, with 90% silver purity.
The twenty-fourth is a MS65 1920 "Pilgrim" Half Dollar.
"To celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth, Massachusetts, Congress authorized the Pilgrim Tercentenary Half Dollar. The commemorative coins were issued with two different dates, setting a precedent that would be followed by future issues."
NGC graded 5,089 1920 "Pilgrim" Half Dollars, with 1,147 as MS65 and 241 above. 152,112 1920 "Pilgrim" were minted in Philadelphia.
Today's price of this coin is around $220.00.
"The obverse of the Pilgrim Half Dollar features a depiction of Governor William Bradford holding a Bible.
Both the obverse and reverse were designed by Boston sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin based on sketches provided by the Pilgrim Tercentenary Commission."
"The reverse of the coin features the Mayflower, the ship which carried the Pilgrims to Plymouth."

I like it! You are showing me so much coin history of my country that I didn't know existed. Take care my friend.
All these coins were approved by the Congress. So, it was the Congress that showed you coin history of your country that you didn't know existed...
