1935 Spanish Trail Half Dollar, MS68
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1935 50C Spanish Trail MS68 PCGS. The obverse of the Spanish Trail commemorative half dollar features one of the most distinctive designs in the series, with a bull's head dominating the center of the coin. The motif is a reference to the 1527-1536 expedition of Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. A total of 10,000 coins were sold to collectors. Eight others were struck and melted for assay purposes. Despite being well-saved, few qualify for the MS68 grade level.

The present Superb Gem is expectedly pristine with satiny luster and speckled golden patina around mainly brilliant centers. Just a few hints of dusky powder-blue color are also seen. Population: 10 in 68, 0 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# BYJ5, PCGS# 9376, Greysheet# 10366)
