Description
1921 Missouri 2x4 Half Dollar
Among the Finest Certified
1921 50C Missouri 2x4 MS66 PCGS. The simple Robert Aitken
design for the Missouri Centennial commemorative is suggestive of
the earliest commemoratives struck by the United States, the
Columbia half and Isabella quarter. Other than UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, the dual dates, and the denomination, no other federal
statutory inscriptions appear on either side. A small subset of
pieces, however, display an extraneous design element: the
eponymous 2x4 in the left obverse field.This subtly shimmering 2x4 Missouri half offers delicate sky-blue patina over much of each side, while partial rings of reddish-tan form a halo around the portrait and similar toning appears over parts of the stars on the reverse. Though the standing frontiersman shows the typical softness at the strap on his back, the devices are pleasingly defined otherwise, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a finer representative (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
