Description
1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar, MS66
None Certified Finer
1926 50C Sesquicentennial MS66 NGC. An uncommonly
well-produced example of this conditionally rare half dollar, which
is among the most challenging commemoratives to find in Premium Gem
condition. The flatness of John R. Sinnock's design at the centers
resulted in poor strikes and difficult execution, as did the
legends climbing the dished walls of the rims. More than 85% of the
1 million-piece mintage was melted as unsold. This excellent
example is both attractive and well-struck for the issue, with
light, golden-lilac toning and glimpses of iridescence on the
margins. Washington's cheek and hair are brought up, and the
Liberty Bell is bold. No numerically finer examples have been seen
by either service. Census: 19 in 66 (6 in 66 ★ , 1 in 66+
★ ), 0 finer (6/14).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# BYJ4, PCGS# 9374, Greysheet# 10365)
