1936-D Columbia Half Dollar, MS68+
Tied for Finest Known, A Registry Coin

1936-D 50C Columbia MS68+ NGC. The Columbia, South Carolina Sesquicentennial half dollar was produced by all three active mints. Of the three issues, the Denver coin is the most plentiful in the lofty MS68 grade, but even this issue is scarce so fine. The Condition Census is composed of the 14 Plus-graded coins reported by NGC and PCGS combined, with a nod also given to a couple dozen Star-designated NGC coins. Thus, the present coin is tied for the finest known.

Sharp definition characterizes the devices, complementing satiny, unblemished mint luster. Rich mint-gold, amber, and russet border toning surrounds iridescent interiors, adding to the eye appeal. Census: 70 in 68 (4 in 68+, 27 in 68 ), 0 finer (3/24).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# BYGD, PCGS# 9292, Greysheet# 10298)

Weight: 12.50 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
