1936 Norfolk Commemorative Half (50c)

The 1936 Norfolk Bicentennial half dollar celebrates the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the borough of Norfolk, Virginia. Issued in a relatively limited mintage of 25,013 pieces, this commemorative coin is notable for its elaborate design, which features detailed imagery commemorating the colonial history and maritime significance of the Norfolk area.

Graded MS67 by PCGS and sporting a CAC sticker, this coin represents a truly magnificent example. The surfaces gleam with a brilliant luster that accentuates the intricate designs on both obverse and reverse. Soft, natural toning graces the fields, adding a touch of antique appeal without detracting from the overall brightness. The details are sharply struck, revealing every nuance of the ship and the ceremonial mace. There are virtually no contact marks, ensuring this piece will stand out in any advanced collection.
