1921 Alabama Half Dollar, MS67
2x2 Variant, None Numerically Finer

1921 50C Alabama 2x2 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Designed by Laura Gardin Fraser, the Alabama Centennial half dollar has one of the most dynamic eagles on all of U.S. coinage. This example is particularly sharp for the issue, which usually comes lightly struck. Most Alabama halves show marks from the original planchet, which remain in areas where the strike was incomplete such as Governor Kilby's cheek, although few marks exist on this deeply struck Superb Gem.

Attractive gold and ice-blue toning accompany pearlescent silver luster that glows beneath the moderate toning. The surface quality is far above average on this 2x2 example, which had a net distribution of just 6,006 pieces -- a small number compared to the plain Alabama halves (without the 2x2 imprint). This splendid coin is housed in a previous generation green label holder, tied for the numerically finest-known at either service, and is one of the few examples to receive CAC endorsement at the MS67 level. Population: 9 in 67 (2 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 4 in 67, 0 finer (2/19).(Registry values: N7079)
