1936 Rhode Island Half Dollar, MS68
Tercentenary Commemorative
Among the Finest Certified

1936 50C Rhode Island MS68 PCGS. The 1936 Rhode Island half dollar commemorated the 300th anniversary of Roger Williams' June 24, 1636 arrival in the Rhode Island territory and the subsequent founding of the Providence plantations. The total authorized coinage for this commemorative was 50,000 pieces, of which 20,000 were struck at Philadelphia, and 15,000 each at Denver and San Francisco (plus a handful of assay coins at each mint). All of these pieces were distributed, meaning that, contrary to some classic commemorative issues, the mintage figures for the Rhode Island Tercentenary half dollars are equal to the distribution totals.

This high-end Superb Gem is among the top six coins certified by PCGS and NGC (5/25). Radiant mint luster adorns satiny, pristine surfaces. The interiors yield uniform lemon-gold color with slight iridescence, while deeper amber and mint-green hues appear around the outer peripheries. Population: 3 in 68 (1 in 68+), 0 finer (5/25).(Registry values: N4719)
