- The Lynchburg Sesquicentennial half dollar was a commemorative half dollar designed by Charles Keck and struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1936, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 1786 incorporation of the independent city of Lynchburg, Virginia. The obverse of the coin depicts former Secretary of the Treasury and U.S. Senator Carter Glass, a native of Lynchburg. The reverse depicts a statue of the Goddess of Liberty, with Lynchburg sites behind her, including the Old Courthouse and the city's Confederate monument. Glass sponsored legislation for the half dollar, which passed Congress without difficulty. The Commission of Fine Arts proposed that the coin should bear the portrait of John Lynch, founder of Lynchburg, on the obverse, but no portrait of him was known. Instead, the Lynchburg Sesqui-Centennial Association decided Senator Glass should be on the coin. Despite his opposition, Glass became the third living person to appear on a U.S. coin, and the first to be shown alone. The coins sold well when placed on sale in the late summer of 1936, and sales to out-of-towners were limited. The entire issue sold out, with some put aside for the sesquicentennial celebrations in October. Issued for $1, the coins have appreciated over the years, with 2018 estimates of value ranging between $225 and $365, depending on condition. (en)
- 林奇堡一百五十周年半美元（英語：Lynchburg Sesquicentennial half dollar）是美国铸币局1936年生产的50美分，旨在纪念弗吉尼亚州独立市林奇堡成立一百五十周年。硬币由设计，正面是曾担任美国财政部长和联邦参议员的林奇堡居民，背面是自由女神和林奇堡多个历史地标建筑，包括和联盟国纪念碑。 格拉斯在国会递交的授权法案顺利通过，美国美术委员会提议硬币上采用林奇堡创始人的肖像，但林奇没有确知肖像存世。林奇堡一百五十周年协会最后决定不顾本人强烈反对采用格拉斯的肖像，后者因此成为历史上第三个出现在美国硬币上的在世人物，也是唯一单独出现的在世人物。 1936年夏末面世后，纪念币以一美元单价发行，销售行情良好。部分半美元特意保留到十月的一百五十周年庆典上销售，最终全部卖出，大部分买家是当地居民。硬币此后逐渐升值，如今视成色而定，价值在225至365美元范围。 (zh)
