Early Commemoratives
	1925 50C	MS66	PCGS 29834381	Gem	$535	Stone Mountain, Superb-Gem, Peripheral Copper-Orange Toning, CAC Approval. Exceptional and unique eye appeal is at hand concerning this gorgeous Stone Mountain commemorative half. Speckled copper-orange toning becomes more concentrated at the peripheries.

	1925 50C	MS66	NGC 190006002	Gem	$1600	Norse Medal, Thick Silver Edition, Superb Gem, CAC Approval. The 1925 Norse-American Medal commemorated the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the Norwegian ship Restauration in America. 33,750 thick medals and 6,000 silver thin medals were issued aong with 100 medals in gold. The Norse issue appeals to both early silver commemorative collectors and those who pursue U.S issued medals. Few Norse medals have been CAC approved, especially at the top of the Mint State grade. A truly special numismatic item that would be an excellent conversation piece. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder.
	1927 50C	MS63	PCGS 35744125	Choice	$260	Vermont Sesquicentennial, Near Gem Original, Steely Cartwheels, Substantial Eye Appeal. Net distribution of 28,142 as 11,892 were melted. Struck in very high relief as compared to other early silver commemoratives. Survivors all show excellent detail but the high relief brought about friction on Ira Allen's cheek. This MS63 graded example offers exceptional steely luster and is so pleasing. Cartwheels are vibrant. Faint speckled ebony toning is concentrated at the peripheries. Near gem for the assigned grade level. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.

An absolutely premium example that warrants serious consideration at the offer price. They don't come nicer! Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2011-2013) holder with CAC approval.
