Description

Dazzling MS66 Prooflike 1936 Rhode Island
Ex: Bagne Collection

1936 50C Rhode Island MS66 Prooflike NGC. The Bagne Collection is a wonderful example of how numismatics can be tailored for the individual collector. All one needs is to know what one wants. Prooflike commemoratives are not especially rare as such, nor are they especially expensive. But when seen as a collection they have extraordinary visual presence. The average collector simply does not see this many Prooflike commemoratives in one place at one time. This is certainly an appealing Rhode Island. The fields are brightly reflective, and there is no contrast between fields and devices, much the same as regular-issue proofs stuck in the early years of the 20th century. The centers are brilliant and surrounded by dusky russet hues at the margins. The surfaces are essentially mark-free, as one would expect from the MS66 designation. NGC has certified seven other P-mint Rhode Islands in this lofty grade and none are finer (10/09).
From The Jerry Bagne Collection of Prooflike Commemoratives.
