Description
George V 50 Cents 1931, KM25a, MS67 PCGS, Ex: Alston. More than 200,000 1921-dated half dollars were produced, but most were melted late in the 1920s when the Master of the Mint made the large 1929 emission of 228,328 coins. The few dozen surviving 1921 half dollars are mostly from Specimen sets or business strikes sold to Mint visitors. After the 1929 production, no 1930-dated half dollars were produced, and the 1931 saw only 57,581 coins made. Not only is the 1931 a popular date due to its small mintage, but also because of its association with the famed 1921 issue. This piece is one of three MS67 pieces tied for the top spot at PCGS (7/09). The pristine surfaces are brilliant silver-white throughout, with just a hint of lilac coloration. The full strike is inimitable, and a finer coin is simply unimaginable.From the Canadiana Collection
