Description

1939-D 50C Arkansas MS 66 NGC. A gorgeous, pristine example of this very challenging commemorative type. The vibrant, lustrous surfaces are fully brilliant and essentially untoned. The striking details are also impressive, with strong definition on the eagle's neck, breast feathers, and the center of the ribbon. Arkansas halves are normally found weak and lackluster with numerous abrasions. Coins that possess the aesthetic appeal of this piece are few and far between. Scarce also in the absolute sense as only 2,100 examples were struck of this issue.
From the Tyler Dillon of Wellesley Collection.
