Description
1921 Alabama, MS67
Tied for Finest Known, Vivid Coloration
1921 50C Alabama MS67 NGC. CAC. High-quality examples of the
Alabama commemorative half are rare -- few were saved, and many
were carelessly produced. Most of the mintage was sold to the local
populace, where many of the coins circulated and almost none were
carefully preserved. Taking the cue from Missouri's successful 2*2
experiment, two varieties were minted: a limited edition 2x2 coin,
and the mass-produced "plain" variety.This exceptional coin is remarkably well-produced and attractive for the plain variety. As always, it is softly struck on the eagle's talons, but the dual portraits are sharply struck the rest of the memorable eagle design is bold. Variegated rainbow toning covers both sides in shades of orange, pink, blue, and lilac over pearlescent-silver surfaces. The eye appeal is terrific. A Superb Gem example, tied numerically for the finest-known among survivors of this challenging issue. Census: 7 in 67 (1 in 67 ★ ), 0 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N7079)
