1936 50C Bridgeport Half With Box of Issue
<B>1936 50C Bridgeport Half With Box of Issue.</B></I> A fascinating lot consisting of a Bridgeport half (MS64) and its associated ephemera. The softly lustrous obverse is largely silver-gray with splashes of gold-orange at the margins. The reverse is not easily accessible, as the coin is mounted in the box of issue. The blue and gold outer cardboard box contains an inner purple insert that holds the piece. A printed message on the inside of the lid praises P.T. Barnum and offers thanks from the distributing committee. Slight wear is noted on the corners. Also included is the clearly used shipping box addressed to a Hugo Zeiter of Danville, Illinois, bearing six and one-half cents' worth of postage.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
