- 1921 Missouri Centennial. Plain. MS-66 (PCGS).
A few blushes of antique gold and russet toning around the central design elements confirm the originality of this endearing Gem. Billowy mint luster flows over both sides in smooth, virtually undisturbed manner, as one should expect for the assigned grade. A boldly rendered strike with universally sharp detail rounds out an impressive list of physical attributes. This commemorative half dollar was issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the admission of Missouri into the Union. The authorizing Act of March 4, 1921, allowed for a maximum mintage of 250,000 coins, but in the end only 50,000 pieces were struck, 5,000 with 2x4 in the left obverse field signifying Missouri's status as the 24th state and 45,000 without this added feature. Lagging sales resulted in 29,600 examples of the plain variant being returned to the Mint for remelting, leaving a net mintage of 15,400 pieces. With most survivors grading no finer than MS-64, this premium quality Gem is sure to catch the eye of advanced commemorative enthusiasts.
