<B>1937 50C Roanoke MS68 NGC.</B></I> Much has been made of the Roanoke half dollar's obverse portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh and its uncanny resemblance to popular actor Errol Flynn. Though Flynn performed in similarly themed roles (most famously as Robin Hood), neither the coin's promoters nor Flynn's memoirs make mention of him as a model. In addition, whether artist William Marks Simpson was a film enthusiast is unknown. On this wonderful piece, rich crimson-russet tab toning surrounds a softer cloud-gray center on the obverse. The reverse displays colorful swirls of crimson, orange-tan, and olive-copper over the crisply defined surfaces. Census: 16 in 68, 7 in 68 S, 0 finer (4/07).<BR><I>From The Cary & Cheryl Porter Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
