<B>1921 50C Missouri 2x4 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> The simple Robert Aitken design for the Missouri centennial commemorative is suggestive of the earliest commemoratives struck by the United States, the Columbia half and Isabella quarter. Other than UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the dual dates, and the denomination, no other federal statutory inscriptions appear on either side. A small subset of pieces, however, display an extraneous design element: the eponymous 24 in the left obverse field, the digits separated by a star.<BR> This subtly shimmering 2x4 Missouri half offers delicate sky-blue patina over much of each side, while partial rings of reddish-tan form a halo around the portrait and similar toning appears over parts of the stars on the reverse. Though the standing frontiersman shows the typical softness at the strap on his back, the devices are pleasingly defined otherwise, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a finer representative (9/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
