It is remarkable that Hawaii was just a territory in 1928, and yet was able to get Congress to pass an authorization for a commemorative half dollar.

 

 

I’ve always viewed the Missouri commemorative half dollar as the “big sleeper” in the series. It does not get the press that Hawaiian half dollar gets, and yet it is harder to find in grades like MS-64 and 65. From what I’ve read most the “plain” pieces were sold at the state fair that was held in Sedalia, Missouri to farmers and other non-collectors who shoved them in their overalls and continued to use less than perfect preservation techniques from that time forward. The 2*4 variety pieces were sold at banks and were a bit better preserved.

Saen fantastic Albany- I rarely see any I like

 

Bill- I betcha that Missouri looks even better in hand. A keeper for sure. Yes, a very tough coin. MJ

Some great coins continue to be listed and that Missouri appears to have substantial and attractive color for the issue.
