Commemorative Silver
1938 50C New Rochelle, Specimen Finish, SP67 PCGS. CAC. There are several similar finishes to the New Rochelle half dollar, but one thing is clear, there is only one actual proof known and it has a matte finish. There were 40 special presentation pieces produced for the Westchester County Coin Club. Presumably these are specimen strikes with mirror-like fields. The confusion arises with the New Rochelle in understanding that not all prooflike coins were presentation pieces. This specimen striking presents dramatic, deeply reflective fields and all-brilliant surfaces that give the viewer maximum visibility of the coin's reflectiveness. Population: 9 in 67 (2 in 67+), 1 finer. CAC: 9 in 67, 0 finer (6/17).
