Lot 1125
1936-D Cincinnati Music Center Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Lovely brilliant satiny lustrous surfaces. The Cincinnati half dollars appeared at the height of the great commemorative boom in 1936. While many sets were sold at $7.75 each, the issue price, long before the supply ran out, their promoter suddenly stated that all were gone. You can imagine what happened: the price jumped to $30, quickly to $40, then to $50 per set! Similar to another situation with Boone half dollars, the Cincinnati's promoter had a supply later, giving the risible excuse that some original purchasers of their sets had made them available. Only 5,005 struck. (PCGS # 9284) .
Estimated Value $800 - 900.
