Commemorative Silver
1938-S 50C Arkansas MS67 PCGS. The Arkansas Centennial half dollars were struck at all three active U.S. mints over a four-year period from 1935-1939. The coins were issued by the Arkansas Centennial Commission and sold for $1 each, but B. Max Mehl virtually cornered the market on some of the early issues and sold them for higher prices. The 1938-S claims a low net distribution of just 3,156 pieces and examples are very rare at the MS67 grade level.
The present coin is a spectacular Superb Gem, with virtually pristine surfaces that show highlights of golden-tan and lavender-gray toning, with satiny mint luster underneath. The design elements are sharply detailed and eye appeal is terrific. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (5/17).
