Lot 3243
1935 Hudson Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Natural toning of both sides, the Hudson half dollar, with its mintage of just 10,000 pieces, is among the more elusive Types struck in the 1930s decade. On it, King Neptune is seated backwards on a spouting whale, with a mermaid in the background blowing a conch shell. Hudson is a small city in Columbia County, New York and is the county seat. The community has an estimated population, in 2003, of 7,296 (fewer than the number of half dollars issued to commemorate the occasion back in 1935). For out-of-towners, Hudson sits on the banks of the Hudson River, and both are named after Henry Hudson (PCGS # 9312) .
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.
