Description

# 1921 Pilgrim Commemorative Half Dollar PCGS MS67. A stunning Gem-quality example of this historic Silver Commemorative, the 1921 Pilgrim Half Dollar represents a pinnacle of numismatic preservation and rarity. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a limited mintage of only 20,053 pieces, this coin stands as a remarkable survivor from a pivotal moment in American commemorative coinage history. Designed by renowned sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin, this *90% silver* half dollar showcases exceptional quality, graded a superb PCGS MS67. With an extraordinary population report showing only 12 total graded and just 1 coin at a higher grade, this specimen represents an extraordinary opportunity for the advanced collector. The coin exhibits the characteristic frosty luster typical of Pilgrim commemoratives, with nuanced strike details and minimal marks consistent with its high grade. The 1921 Pilgrim Half Dollar is particularly noteworthy for its limited distribution, emerging during an economic recession that significantly impacted collector coin sales. Numismatic research suggests that while the 1920 issue saw broader circulation, the 1921 variant was primarily preserved by collectors, making high-grade examples like this extraordinarily desirable. The PCGS certification #37641232 guarantees the coin's authenticity and exceptional preservation.
