# 1935-D Arkansas Commemorative Half Dollar - PCGS MS67. A stunning Superb Gem example of the 1935-D Arkansas Commemorative Half Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint with exceptional preservation and eye appeal. This premium quality coin represents a significant opportunity for the discerning commemorative collector. The 1935-D Arkansas Half Dollar emerges from a modest original mintage of just 5,505 pieces, with this particular specimen ranking among the finest known. PCGS has certified only 11 examples at this elite MS67 grade level, making this a truly exceptional offering. Designed by Edward Everett Burr and Emily Bates, the coin showcases the commemorative series' rich artistic heritage, struck in 90% silver with exceptional mint state preservation. Numismatic research reveals that most of this issue's mintage was initially acquired by prominent Texas coin dealer B. Max Mehl, who aggressively marketed these commemoratives. This example displays the characteristic frosty luster typical of high-grade Arkansas halves, with pristine surfaces that have miraculously survived in near-perfect condition. The coin represents the most available of the 1935 Arkansas issues in top-tier preservation, yet remains decidedly scarce in this remarkable grade.
