UNITED STATES: 50 cents, 1936, PCGS graded MS64, Long Island Tercentenary commemorative. The Dutch were the first white settlers to establish a community on Long Island in 1636. In celebration of the 300th anniversary of this settlement, many festivities were planned. The Long Island Tercentenary Committee was formed to help plan these, as well as supervise the creation of a commemorative half dollar to help fund the celebrations. Unfortunately they acted too late, and while the festivities were planned for May of 1936, a bill authorizing the mintage of up to 100,000 Long Island half dollars wasn't passed until May of that year.

Estimate: 90-120 USD
