1936 Rhode Island Commemorative Half (50c)

The 1936 Rhode Island Tercentenary half dollar commemorates the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Rhode Island colony. Commissioned to celebrate this milestone, these coins boast an elaborate design highlighting Roger Williams’s iconic landing in 1636. With a mintage of just 50,000 pieces, it stands as a key commemorative issue in the classic series.

Graded MS66 by PCGS with a CAC sticker, this Rhode Island Tercentenary half is simply stunning. The coin radiates a bright luster, and its surfaces are exceptionally clean with only the faintest signs of handling. The strike is robust, crisp details highlighting both the anchor on the reverse and the historic scene on the obverse. Light, original toning enhances its visual appeal, making it a standout piece for any collection focused on high-grade, historic commemoratives.
