Description
Outstanding MS67 1921 Pilgrim Half
1921 50C Pilgrim MS67 PCGS. CAC. The Pilgrim half is one of the better designed commemoratives, especially among the early issues. It received praise from James Earle Fraser, designer of the Buffalo nickel and noted sculptor. As with many early commemoratives, people were not aware of the collectibility of the pieces and some who received them actually spent them. Others placed them with other coins and the pieces were soon abraded. The result is that the Pilgrim is available in lower grades but is notably absent from most collections in high grade. Only 17 other pieces have been so graded by PCGS and neither service has certified one above MS67. This one comes close, though. The thickly frosted surfaces are unaffected by abrasions. The centers are light, almost-brilliant with just a dab of golden color, and the rims are encircled with deeper golden-rose coloration. An outstanding Pilgrim half.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# BYHS, PCGS# 9360, GSID# 10356)
