Description

1939 50C Oregon MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: JFS, Jewell. Sensational quality for this final-year coin, one of just 3,004 pieces struck. The exquisitely preserved surfaces are tinted blue-violet over the obverse, and similar shades accented in antique-gold and orange on the reverse. Every detail is painstakingly struck up with no areas of softness on either side. One has to wonder how this example was so carefully preserved for over 60 years. Population: 4 in 68, 0 finer (6/09).
