Lot 3215
1921 Alabama Half Dollar, with 2 x 2. PCGS graded MS-66. Well struck with lovely light golden toning. One of the best we seen in years. More often than not frosty for the issue, as seen here, but the Alabamas are plagued by scruffiness and handling marks. No so this splendid original toned specimen, whose underlying the frosted surface is nearly superb with few distracting bagmarks. Desirable with this bold strike as well.
The obverse depicts two governors of Alabama, William Bibb and Thomas Kilby, one the governor in 1819 and the other the governor in 1919, the latter date being the year of the centennial. This particular coin is rather a mishmash since the centennial that is observed had already passed, yet the coin was not struck until 1921 -- a date with no particular significance. Pop 56; 5 in 67. (PCGS # 9225) .
Estimated Value $3,300 - 3,600.
