- Stunning 1936-S Bay Bridge Half Dollar 1936-S Bay Bridge Opening. MS-68 (PCGS). CAC. A lovely specimen of this popular variety, the present piece is exceptionally attractive and lustrous with a mixture of rose, gold and orange-apricot toning that appears to drift toward the borders on both sides. One of the more popular commemorative issues of the 1936 year. Not all were effectively distributed at the time, and quantities remained on the market as late as the 1950s. Pictured on the reverse is the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, linking the two cities across San Francisco Bay. Renowned historian and long-time curator of the Wells Fargo History Museum, Dr. Robert Chandler, had set in motion a campaign in 2004 to rename this the Emperor Norton Bridge, from an eccentric character who delighted Californians with interesting newspaper accounts and personal appearances in the 1870s. "Bob" Chandler passed away in March 2019, and has been sorely missed since. PCGS Population: 13; 4 finer (all MS-68+). CAC Population: 8; 0. PCGS# 9254. NGC ID: BYFM.
