Lot Description

1937 Roanoke, North Carolina 350th Anniversary. MS-68 (NGC). A truly spectacular Superb Gem Roanoke half dollar, a coin that wears the "spectacular" sobriquet with ease and dignity! A frosty and lustrous example with faint "oil slick" toning evenly distributed on both sides. Only 33 Roanoke half dollars have been called MS-68 by NGC, with 4 others finer in an NGC* holder. Scrutinize this one all you want, you be hard-pressed to find a reason to question its grade! Destined to be a focal point in an advanced commemorative half dollar set. PCGS# 9367. NGC ID: BYHW.
