1936 Wisconsin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67 PQ. This superb gem Wisconsin half dollar is going to permanently burn an image of originality into all of those who view it! Surfaces with cartwheel luster have patches of sky and turquoise blue toning. Only one tiny tick mark on the arm and scuff mark under the 6 of date is noted. Aside from those two minor blemishes, this piece is exceptionally fresh. The reverse is 95% white with a small patch of golden and sky blue toning at 7:00. We see no reason why this specimen should not achieve a higher grade.
Comes with the original mailing envelope from the state government, dated September 14, 193? A handwritten name and address of the recipient, "Edw. C. Denny", is found on the front with the return address weakly impressed. A notation of "1.57" on the back, most likely the cost of the coin ($1.50) with shipping ($0.07). The original tissue used to wrap the coin is within this original mailer. The quality of this memorabilia could be classified as "Choice Uncirculated" (PCGS # 9447) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.
