Description
Impressive 1921 Alabama 2x2 Half, MS67
1921 50C Alabama 2x2 MS67 PCGS. Ex: Bruce Scher. Although the 2x2 issue was better produced than its plain counterpart, it is nonetheless unusual to find any Alabama half dollar with the sharpness seen on the present Superb Gem. The eagle's plumage on the legs and body is fully struck by the dies, and only the right (facing) claw lacks pinpoint definition. Just 15,014 pieces with the 2x2 were struck. The "x" represents the St. Andrews cross from the state flag; the gimmick of adding the state number to create an additional low mintage variety was also used by the 1921 Missouri type. Lightly toned in apricot, lilac, and sea-green hues, this lustrous and impeccably preserved piece fully merits its status as one of the finest certified Alabama 2x2 halves. Population: 5 in 67, 0 finer (6/09).From The Louis Bassano Collection of U.S. Commemoratives.(Registry values: N7079)
