- 1935 Old Spanish Trail. MS-67+ (PCGS).
Lovely antique silver surfaces with enhancing blushes of iridescent reddish-rose here and there around the peripheries. The finish is softly frosted in texture, both sides exceptionally smooth for an example of this conditionally challenging type. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the expedition of Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca and the opening of the Old Spanish Trail, the Act of June 5, 1935, authorized the production of a maximum of 10,000 half dollars. The Philadelphia Mint achieved this mintage, plus an additional eight coins for assay, and all 10,000 examples were distributed to contemporary collectors. With its expansive field areas that usually display numerous distracting abrasions, the Old Spanish Trail is one of the most challenging classic commemorative half dollars to locate in the finest Mint State grades. Indeed, the present example would serve as a highlight in even the most advanced cabinet.
PCGS Population: 38; 8 finer (all MS-68).
