Superb Gem 1936 Bridgeport Half

1936 50C Bridgeport MS67 PCGS. Phineas T. Barnum was born in 1810 in Bethel, Connecticut, and died in 1891, 45 years before this Bridgeport commemorative was coined, but as a showman and master of hoaxes he would probably approve anyway. This example boasts silver-blue predominating on both sides with glints of amber at the rims, and no visible distractions appear on the satiny surfaces, even under a loupe. Population: 55 in 67, 0 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)
