Lot 1286
1936 Wisconsin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-68. Nice rainbow toning on both sides including a crimson tide of hues. Struck with exactitude rarely found on a Wisconsin, even though this Type is apt to be well made as a rule. The hand with a pick ax is poised threateningly over a lumpy pile of iron ore, this marking the day when, on July 4, 1836, Wisconsin became an official territory of the United States. Many cheered, others who didn't understand scratched their heads, commenting "Wisconsin who?" -- but no one can deny that this coin stands at the front of the line in terms of its surface originality and pristine color. Truly a beautiful coin. Pop 16; none finer (PCGS # 9447) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
