1921 50C Missouri 2x4 MS66 PCGS. CAC
<B>1921 50C Missouri 2x4 MS66 PCGS. CAC.</B></I> According to the Missouri State Fair Web site (http://www.mostatefair.com/beginning.html), six candidate towns lobbied to host the Missouri State Fair when it was created: Centralia, Chillicothe, Marshall, Mexico, Moberly, and Sedalia. The last of these towns won, and Sedalia has hosted the State Fair every year since 1901. The Missouri commemorative half dollar of 1921, sold at the State Fair that year, references the town in incused lettering below the figures of the settler and the native. (One wonders, had Chillicothe been victorious, how sculptor Robert Aitken would have incorporated that name into his design!)<BR> This Premium Gem, of the lower-mintage 2x4 variety, offers strongly lustrous surfaces beneath elements of gold, orange, and silver-gray patina. Well struck overall, though the strap across the settler's shoulder is weak. Excellent preservation and eye appeal. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer example (3/08).<BR><I>From The Good Humor 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>)
