The US Mint struck 1,000,528-half-dollars during May and June 1926, anticipating an enthusiastic reception for the Sesquicentennial Half Dollars. Many people did not want to purchase the commemorative half-dollar for $1. Approximately 859,408-half-dollars were sent back to the mint to be melted down. Today, the 1926 half-dollar coins are plentiful, and at the bottom of popularity charts for collectors, due to the poor quality of the design.
