1936 Cleveland/Great Lakes Half MS-65 PCGS
Struck to commemorate the Cleveland Centennial and Great Lakes Exposition, this 1936 silver half dollar offers a fascinating cartographic design rarely seen on United States coinage. The reverse displays an intricate map of the Great Lakes area, complete with a compass rose pointing directly to the host city. Nine prominent cities along the lakes are highlighted by individual stars, turning the coin's surface into a miniature geographic guide of the region. The obverse presents the profile of Moses Cleaveland, the founder of the city. Composed of 90 percent silver and containing 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal, this particular specimen is certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65), preserving the crisp details of both the portrait and the delicate map engraving.
