<B>1923-S 50C Monroe MS65 PCGS.</B></I> The obverse of this unusually appealing Gem has light golden patina overall, while the reverse has splashes of deeper orange patina. The devices are well-defined aside from the typically soft area at Monroe's ear, and the luster is strong. While the promoters of this issue attempted to link the Monroe Doctrine with Los Angeles, most commemorative scholars have found this laughable, with Bowers (1991) pointing out that in 1823, that city was "a sleepy little Mexican pueblo."<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
