Losbeschreibung

Superb Gem 1936-S Cincinnati Half 1936-S Cincinnati Music Center. MS-67 (NGC). A dynamic Superb Gem displaying rich autumnal toning on the obverse consisting of crimson, olive, and golden shades. The reverse remains pearlescent and nearly untoned, save for a dusting of olive and powder blue hues. Well struck and lustrous, without any singularly distracting marks. The 1936-S, represented here, is the rarest of the three Cincinnati Music Center issues in the finest Mint State grades. The mintage for distribution is identical for all three issues -- 5,000 coins each -- although the 1936-S survived in fewer numbers than the 1936 or 1936-D in grades at and above the Gem level. This is a Condition Census example, and a beautiful coin, that is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in the finest commemorative set. It is tied with only seven other examples at the MS-67 level and none graded finer by NGC. NGC Census: 8; none finer. PCGS# 9285. NGC ID: BYCL. Click here for certification details from NGC.
