Up for auction/sale is a classic, lightly circulated 1925 Stone Mountain Memorial Commemorative Half Dollar in choice Very Fine (Lightly Circulated) condition.

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1925, this historic silver half dollar was issued to fund the massive Confederate monument on Stone Mountain, Georgia. Sculpted by Gutzon Borglum—the master artist who went on to carve Mount Rushmore—the obverse features striking equestrian portraits of Generals Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and Robert E. Lee. As one of the most widely collected early U.S. classic commemorative issues, finding clean, lightly circulated examples with crisp details, clean fields, and original surfaces is a real treat for collectors. This specimen exhibits bold relief, strong detail, and lingering mint luster in the protected fields.
