<B>1921 50C Alabama 2x2 MS66 <img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10> NGC.</B></I> While numismatists know Governor Thomas Kilby as the first living person to appear on a U.S. coin, this hardly does justice to his political and business careers, which included time as a mayor, lieutenant governor, bank president, and minor steel magnate, according to the Alabama Department of Archives & History. Kilby joins his earliest predecessor on the obverse of this stupendous half. Crescents of lime-green, plum, ruby-magenta, orange, and gold grace the left side, while the rest is mainly silver-white. One of just six Alabama 2x2 halves in MS66 awarded the Star designation, and the lone Superb Gem graded by NGC lacks the Star (3/07).<BR><I>From The Cary & Cheryl Porter Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
