1936-S Bay Bridge Commemorative Half Dollar

Description: This commemorative 1936 Bay Bridge Half Dollar has been in my family since 1936. I am including the story for those who might be interested. My mother and father came to California teenagers from North Dakota during the depression and settled in the Monterey Peninsula. My father found work as a mechanic on Canary Row. The canary he worked in was owned by Mr. David, a wealthy businessman in Monterey. As fate would have it my mother acquired work as a maid, cook and nanny in the David household. Because of his political ties, in 1936 Mr. David was invited to participate in the grand opening car caravan of the Bay Bridge. The David family and my mother were one of the first group of cars to cross the bridge. Mr. David gave my mother this commemorative coin as a remembrance of the trip. According to my parents the coin was gifted in the plastic case and has never been removed. I have a second Bay Bridge half dollar also on sale that in circulated and that my father obtained sometime later. It is currently on auction here on eBay.
