Description / PILGRIM 1920 50C Silver Commemorative PCGS MS64
Step into a remarkable moment in history with the 1920 Pilgrim 50C Silver Commemorative, a true gem that numismatists and history enthusiasts alike will appreciate. Certified by PCGS as MS64, this coin offers a captivating glimpse into the past, commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims' historic landing at Plymouth. Struck in Philadelphia, this unique piece showcases the artistry of Cyrus Dallin, with his incuse 'D' strategically placed under the Pilgrim's elbow. Not to be confused with a Denver mintmark, the 'D' distinctly represents the designer's surname, making this the only modern 'D'-mint coin not originating from Denver.
The 1920 Pilgrim Half Dollar is part of an original mintage of 152,112, positioning it as one of the more available silver commemoratives. However, its historical significance and unique design render it invaluable to serious collectors. The majority of these coins were not preserved in the high quantities seen in post-1930 issues, resulting in a treasure where MS64 grades, like this one, stand as a testament to its careful preservation.
This specimen radiates with a typical frosty luster and boasts a striking silver hue, enhancing its visual allure. Toning, a common characteristic of this issue, adds an additional layer of interest, with variations that can range from elegantly beautiful to vividly stark. For collectors who value eye appeal alongside historical significance, the 1920 Pilgrim Half Dollar in MS64 presents a harmonious blend of both.
Elevate your collection with this piece of numismatic history, a celebration of the early settlers' monumental journey and an exceptional example of commemorative artistry. Ideal for both seasoned collectors and casual enthusiasts, this coin promises a tangible connection to America's storied past. Don't miss the opportunity to own a coin that stands as a symbolic testament to a pivotal chapter in history.
