Description
1921 Alabama Centennial Half Dollar, MS67
Unknown in Higher Numeric Grades
1921 50C Alabama MS67 NGC. The issuance of the Alabama
Centennial commemorative half dollar serves as a model for what the
series would come to represent in the following decades. The actual
100th anniversary of Alabama's statehood was 1819, so 1919 would
have been a more appropriate year to release these half dollars.
Additionally, the obverse features portraits of William Wyatt Bibb
and Thomas E. Kilby, governors for the state in 1819 and 1919. That
Governor Kilby was still alive at the time his likeness was placed
upon a coin caused much controversy. Later commemoratives would
often raise similar concerns about content and timing.This Superb Gem blends areas of brilliance with crimson, blue, and violet tones. Strike detail is strong, and abrasions are scant. Most importantly, this is one of the finest Alabama Centennial half dollars at both services combined. Census: 9 in 67 (1 in 67★ ), 0 finer (1/19).(Registry values: N7079)
