详细说明

Exceptional 1939 Arkansas Centennial Half Dollar 1939 Arkansas Centennial. MS-67 (PCGS). Dusted with pale silvery tinting, both sides are enhanced by delicate golden-champagne iridescence at the rims. Striking detail is universally sharp from the rims to the centers, the surfaces with a smooth satin texture that borders on pristine. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Arkansas' admission to the Union, half dollars of this type were authorized by the Act of May 14, 1934, and were designed by Edward Everett Burr. While yearly mintages were at first relatively strong, by the series' end the contemporary market for commemorative coinage had passed its peak and 1939 saw each of the thee operating mints strike just 2,100 coins for distribution. This is one of the finest certified survivors of the 1939 Philadelphia Mint issue, a lovely coin eagerly awaiting inclusion in the finest collection. Provenance: From the Fort Lee Collection. PCGS Population: 6; with a single MS-67+ finer. PCGS# 9249. NGC ID: BYFJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
