Description

1936 50C Gettysburg MS 66 PCGS. Struck in observation of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Although the actual anniversary was not until July, 1938, the Gettysburg half dollars were dated 1936 as a result of the Act of June 16, 1936, which authorized the coinage. Needless to say, this has created confusion since its inception. This piece is particularly bright and shows "arc-like" toning patterns that suggest long-term housing in an original container of issue. There is no doubting the originality of this piece.
