Fresh, frosty, and flashy – this gem radiates bright cartwheel luster with a light veil of pale champagne and silvery-gold at the rims. The fields are pleasingly clean for the issue. Impressively bold definition on the devices adds pop, and the surfaces read totally original. Secure in a CACG holder, and the eye appeal is exactly what you hope for on a gem California.

The 1936 Norfolk commemorative half dollar was struck to celebrate the bicentennial of the Borough of Norfolk, Virginia. With a mintage of just 16,936 pieces, it’s one of the scarcer commemoratives from the mid-1930s boom period. This CAC graded & approved MS64 is a stellar example with brilliant white surfaces and strong cartwheel luster throughout. The strike is sharp with excellent detail on both the Norfolk seal and the ornate Royal Mace. Light contact marks are minimal and well-scattered, keeping the eye appeal high. The fields show virtually no hairlines, and the overall preservation is exactly what you’d want in a choice uncirculated commemorative. A solid, problem-free coin that represents the issue beautifully.
