1936-D 50C Arkansas, MS

Description

1936-D 50C Arkansas Commemorative, MS67 NGC. This 1936-D Arkansas half dollar represents an important piece of American commemorative coinage from the height of the commemorative era. The Denver Mint issue is particularly significant as it was produced during the first year of the Arkansas Centennial Commemorative series, which ran from 1936 to 1939. The reverse features Lady Liberty holding a torch, while the obverse depicts the state seal, making it an iconic representation of Arkansas's centennial celebration. Graded MS67 by NGC (Certificate #6840364002), this example exhibits exceptional eye appeal with strong luster and minimal contact marks consistent with the grade. At this level, the coin displays full original mint bloom and sharp strike details that bring out the design elements beautifully. The 1936-D is a key date within the Arkansas series, with lower mintage figures compared to other years, making high-grade examples increasingly desirable to both commemorative specialists and type collectors. Commemorative half dollars remain popular among collectors for their historical significance and artistic merit, and this Denver Mint specimen in near-gem condition represents a quality example of this classic series. Starting bid: $1,450.
