50c
Mint State 65
PCGS/CAC
US60936 – Booming luster and original white with a delicate gold and pale green patina both obverse and reverse. The Great Earthquake
occurred this year and as a result, silver coins of all denominations were needed and the majority of the 1.7 million mintage for this date
ultimately went into circulation. Gem examples and above are scarce due to this event. Originally sold in January 2001. CAC Verified. From
the Cincinnati Collection.

US609371907 S
50c
Mint State 66
PCGS/CAC
US60937 - Repunched Mint Mark with the first S clearly showing at the top of the second; also showing faint obverse die crack from tip of
bust to star 13. Absolutely love this coin...just a fabulous example of this the rarest late date of the series. Intensely lustrous and bathed in
gorgeous colors of amber, pale red-purple and light mint green. The striking detail is outstanding and the eye appeal extremely impressive!
Interesting to note is the fact PCGS has graded just 10 in MS64, 9 in MS65, 4 in MS66 and 2 in MS67 illustrating the true rarity of the date.
The last and only PCGS MS66 example to go to auction was in 2009. A rare opportunity to acquire such an outstanding example of this
rarity. Originally sold in January 1998. CAC Verified. From the Cincinnati Collection.

Mint State 66
PCGS/CAC
US60938 - Semi common through Gem but not so much above that as PCGS has only graded 8 in MS66 with 2 graded higher.
Exceptionally clean and remarkably well struck with full, unbroken mint bloom frost and luster. Really lovely coin! Originally sold in May
2005. CAC Verified. From the Cincinnati Collection.
