Vermont Sesquicentennial half dollar 佛蒙特州一百五十周年半美元
rdfs:comment
The Vermont Sesquicentennial half dollar, sometimes called the Bennington–Vermont half dollar or the Battle of Bennington Sesquicentennial half dollar, is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1927. The coin was designed by Charles Keck, and on its obverse depicts early Vermont leader Ira Allen, brother of Ethan Allen. 佛蒙特州一百五十周年半美元（Vermont Sesquicentennial half dollar）又名本宁顿－佛蒙特半美元（Bennington–Vermont half dollar）或本宁顿之役一百五十周年半美元（Battle of Bennington Sesquicentennial half dollar），是美国铸币局1927年生产的50美分。硬币由设计，正面是伊森·艾伦之弟、佛蒙特州早期领导人。 1925年1月9日，佛蒙特州联邦参议员递交法案，建议为1777年佛蒙特地区宣布独立及美国赢得150周年发行纪念币。法案顺利通过参议院，但在众议院一度受阻。财政部长安德鲁·W·梅隆不但写信表态反对，还派出三名官员到国会作证，称过去发行的一些纪念币进入市场流通，导致公众难以区分。众议院下属委员会提出批准佛蒙特州半美元，以后不再授权发行纪念币，但众议院大部分议员对此不以为然，最后法案不但获批，还加入条款授权另外两种周年纪念币。参议院同意众议院的修订后，法案于1925年2月24日经卡尔文·柯立芝总统签字生效。

dbp:quote
Sometimes the Commission of Fine Arts was careless in approving models for commemorative coins, almost as if they were tired of the subject and wanted to get them off their hands. At other times they were tedious, or "up tight" as one might describe it nowadays, and were determined to make the design conform to their ideas regardless of what the commission sponsoring the coin wanted. The Vermont coin is one of the latter examples. But the Battle of Bennington? Yes, it says so and gives the date but did catamounts take part in the battle?

The Vermont Sesquicentennial half dollar, sometimes called the Bennington–Vermont half dollar or the Battle of Bennington Sesquicentennial half dollar, is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1927. The coin was designed by Charles Keck, and on its obverse depicts early Vermont leader Ira Allen, brother of Ethan Allen. On January 9, 1925, Vermont Senator Frank Greene introduced legislation for commemorative coins to mark the 150th anniversary of Vermont declaring itself fully independent in 1777 and of the American victory at the Battle of Bennington the same year. His bill passed the Senate without difficulty, but in the House of Representatives faced an array of problems. Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon sent a letter opposing the bill and dispatched three Treasury officials to testify against it, arguing that the public was being confused as special coin issues entered circulation. The committee's resolve to have no more commemorative coins—after this one—did not impress the full House, which added two more half dollars to the legislation to mark other anniversaries. The Senate agreed to the changes, and President Calvin Coolidge signed the authorizing act on February 24, 1925. There was a lengthy battle over the design between the Commission of Fine Arts and the Vermont commission in charge of organizing the coin issue, as a result of which the original designer, Sherry Fry, left the project, replaced by Keck. Although the eventual reverse design of a catamount satisfied the Fine Arts Commission, it has been severely criticized by later writers. The coins did not sell out; over a fourth of the issue was returned for redemption and melting. The coins sell for at least in the hundreds of dollars today, depending on condition. 佛蒙特州一百五十周年半美元（Vermont Sesquicentennial half dollar）又名本宁顿－佛蒙特半美元（Bennington–Vermont half dollar）或本宁顿之役一百五十周年半美元（Battle of Bennington Sesquicentennial half dollar），是美国铸币局1927年生产的50美分。硬币由设计，正面是伊森·艾伦之弟、佛蒙特州早期领导人。 1925年1月9日，佛蒙特州联邦参议员递交法案，建议为1777年佛蒙特地区宣布独立及美国赢得150周年发行纪念币。法案顺利通过参议院，但在众议院一度受阻。财政部长安德鲁·W·梅隆不但写信表态反对，还派出三名官员到国会作证，称过去发行的一些纪念币进入市场流通，导致公众难以区分。众议院下属委员会提出批准佛蒙特州半美元，以后不再授权发行纪念币，但众议院大部分议员对此不以为然，最后法案不但获批，还加入条款授权另外两种周年纪念币。参议院同意众议院的修订后，法案于1925年2月24日经卡尔文·柯立芝总统签字生效。 与授权过程相比，半美元的设计阶段更是一波三折。美国美术委员会和负责落实硬币事宜的佛蒙特州委员会就设计问题反复争论，起初获聘的设计师后来干脆退出，改由凯克接手。美术委员会最终提议在背面刻上美洲狮，佛蒙特州委员会为节省时间让步，但设计在硬币面世后饱受批评。纪念币销售业绩不佳，近三成只能退货熔毁。如今这款硬币视成色而定，价值在250至750美元不等。
