We attempt to take as deatiled an Image as possible of both the Obverse and Reverse of all coins and currency, While we try and accurately grade each coin, as coin grading is subjective, we encourage you to asses the pictures yourself and make a grading judgement yourself. We always 100% guarantee authenticity, but we do not guarantee any specific grade, nor do we guarantee that NGC or PCGS or any other grading company will agree to grade the coin. We strive for your repeat business and do everything we can to accurately photograph and describe the coin/currency.
Blast White. Great Strike, Great luster. Stunning example. I love the Art Deco Eagle on the reverse, also you can almost see a Frank Lloyd Wright influence. Both the Art Deco Style, and Frank Lloyd Wright were at their peak in 1936. This commemorative is like a snapshot of the mid thirties. The Bridgeport Commemorative bears the depiction of P.T. Barnum on the Obverse, having made his home in Bridgeport. Barnum was the Mayor of Bridgeport during his life. The city of Bridgeport created this coin to celebrate its centennial, but The city had actually been around since the 1600's as a major manufacturing and port city, but it was not officially incorporated until 1836. An odd Commemorative to say the least. Coin World's Coin Values lists ms66 at $350 and The Wholesale Greysheet lists ms66 at $360. Estimated Value $360
