1921 Pilgrim Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely light golden toning on both sides.Pop 218; 16 in 67. Devices were struck with energy and full oomph by the dies imparting all the Pilgrim's design elements boldly, including the brim of his hat.
Pilgrim men did not wear black breeches, square white collar and cuffs, wide buckled belts, black steeple hats with a buckle, nor did Pilgrim women wear full black skirts, white aprons and dark capes. Puritan adults in Boston may have worn these clothes on formal occasions after 1632, but in 1621 the Pilgrims wore entirely different clothing. Pilgrim adults and children wore bright solid colors since their religion did not object to colorful clothing. They had many dyes so that red, green, beige, burgundy, blue, violet, as well as brown and black were worn (PCGS # 9360) .
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200.
