Lightly Toned Gem Proof 1936 Walker

1936 50C PR66 PCGS. One of the keys to determine originality on these Proof Walkers, and other silver proof coins of this period, is the presence of wispy blue and pale gold toning. This toning is generally commingled with light silver color and has a hazy nature. These coins were issued by the mint in small cardboard boxes with considerable sulphur content. As each coin was placed in an individual plastic wrapper, the effects of the sulphur were considerably diminished. Otherwise, these coins would have the deep iridescent toning seen on commemorative half dollars of this period that were stored in their original cardboard holders. The example offered in this lot defines this natural toning, acquired over a period of years in the original box.(#6636) (Registry values: N2998)
