Description
1936 Elgin Centennial Half, MS68
Among the Finest Known
1936 50C Elgin MS68 PCGS. The 1936 Elgin Centennial half
dollars commemorated the 100th anniversary of the founding of
Elgin, Illinois, but the chief purpose of their issuance was to
raise the funds necessary to erect a Pioneer Memorial monument in
an Elgin park, a representation of which is seen on the reverse of
the coin. This piece displays a tinge of deep coppery-gold
peripheral toning around soft, mint-gold centers, while the
surfaces exhibit the thick, frosty luster that is characteristic of
the Elgin halves. The faces of the reverse figures are slightly
soft, as is normal, though the strike is otherwise sharp. No
surface abrasions are observed. PCGS and NGC combined show no
numerically finer examples, although PCGS has four Plus-graded
pieces and NGC reports six Star designated coins (3/26).Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 4444.(Registry values: N2998)
