Lot 1626
1936-S Cincinnati Music Center Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. The PCGS Population Report notes that of the three mints used to coin these in 1936, San Francisco produced the fewest gems. We note 126 graded as MS-65 of this date and mint, with just 12 graded higher, all MS-66. Hence, this one should sell for a healthy premium over the P or D Mint coins. Delicate gold around the edge, and very clean on Foster's face.
Estimated Value $400 - 475.
From the Benson collection and purchased as part of a type set of Commemorative half dollars from Ira S. Reed on February 15, 1944 for $135.00.
