1936-D Arkansas 50C PCGS MS67
From a mintage of 9,660 coins. Some lovely crimson color at the rim. The otherwise silvery hue deepens to golden and pinkish shades in areas. A superb gem of this Type. Struck to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the admission of Arkansas to the Union, June 15, 1836. Two Art Deco heads are Liberty and (evidently) a Quapaw Indian, the tribe that inhabited what would become the Territory of Arkansaw. Edward Everett Burr designed the piece along with the help of several others. Sets of three, one from each mint, were sold in 1935-39 at ever-escalating prices. There was active speculation in the issue at the time, along with the other P-D-S commemorative sets struck during the 1930s. One of eighteen graded , none finer by either service.
