Losbeschreibung

Half dollars of this type were authorized by Act of Congress dated March 18, 1936, to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the founding of Columbia, South Carolina. The Philadelphia Mint issue has a mintage of 9,000 coins, but the total number of PDS sets sold could not have exceeded 8,000 sets, the mintage for the 1936-D and 1936-S issues. This is one of the finest Denver Mint survivors, a stunning Ultra Gem distinguished by exceptionally vivid peripheral toning and virtually pristine surfaces. One of the finest that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction, and fit for an advanced cabinet.
