Here we have another in the series of commemoratives. The 1923-S Monroe Doctrine Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar celebrates the 100th anniversary of the US policy, originated by President James Monroe in 1823. It basically said that any intervention by external powers in the politics of the Americas (Western Hemisphere) was a potentially hostile act against the US.
The mintage of this coin is just over 274k. So you can easily find them. I estimate this one to be around XF condition. It is 90% silver and at this condition has a numismatic value in AU, according to Red Book, of about $55 USD. SO I value this one at a little less than that.
If you have any further information about this coin you would like to add, like historical information I left out or want to correct any I may have gotten wrong, please drop it in the comments.
Thanks,
Joe
