Lot 1032
1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely golden toning around the edges. Fully original, the surfaces display few of the usual noticeable abrasions on the cheek, where these tend to attract marks like a magnet attracts iron filings. The Sesqui half dollar design is unusual for its low relief and shallow lettering, an intentional design made in an era of experimentation rather than the sober Victorian "tradition" of America's prior oin issues. Pop 237; 8 finer in 66 (PCGS # 9374) .
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.
The Mark Gordon Collection.
