Lot 1018
1921 Missouri Half Dollar, 2 x 4. PCGS graded MS-65. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Well struck with nice natural toning. The surfaces are lustrous from the lovely mint frost that swirls around both sides. Struck with preciseness only now and then found on these, the Missouri comes in two flavors, with or without the 2x4 in the field above the date at left. The sneaky promoters of this issue felt they could snare a few extra sales out of collectors by offering this slight variation. There's no way of knowing whether the trick worked, but Missouris have been known to be scarce in Gem condition for a very long time. Many found their way into circulation. So take heed and give this handsome MS65 a worthy bid. Pop 256; 23 finer in 66 (PCGS # 9331) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
