Commemorative Silver
1936 50C Elgin MS68 PCGS. Ex: JFS/Jewell. This commemorative celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of Elgin, Illinois. The 2017 Guide Book indicates that: "The year 1673 bears no relation to the event but refers to the year in which Joliet and Marquette entered Illinois Territory."
Both sides exhibit exuberant luster and a coating of light speckled apricot patina, while a band of deep red-orange iridescence resides near the left obverse border. Well-preserved and free of distracting elements, the coin is sharply struck for the issue, although the reverse always lacks detail on some of the faces as always. Just one or two inoffensive ticks are visible on the otherwise pristine surfaces. Only seven MS68 coins have been certified by PCGS, and none have been seen any finer (6/17).
