Commemorative Silver
1938 50C New Rochelle, Specimen Finish, SP67 PCGS. CAC. Now called Specimen strikes by both PCGS and NGC, a total of 50 special strikes were produced for presentation to members of the Coinage Committee, the Westchester County Coin Club, and local dignitaries. The coins were struck on proof planchets with polished dies to resemble true proofs -- usually with flashy, brilliant surfaces and mirrorlike fields.
Issued to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the French Huguenots settlement at New Rochelle, New York, the Specimen coins are rare and popular among classic commemorative collectors. This untoned and silver-mirrored example displays highly reflective surfaces and a razor-sharp strike. Magnification reveals only a few faint lines that mingle with the normal striation lines from die polishing. There are no mentionable contact marks or other distractions. A Superb Gem example with CAC endorsement. Population: 9 in 67 (2 in 67+), 1 finer. CAC: 9 in 67, 0 finer (6/17).
