1936 Norfolk Half Dollar Commem MS-65 PCGS
This silver half dollar from 1936 commemorates a major milestone: the bicentennial of Norfolk, Virginia. Struck in 90 percent pure silver, the coin contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal and represents a fascinating moment in twentieth-century American commemorative coinage. The obverse displays the official seal of the City of Norfolk, highlighted by a detailed three-masted sailing ship navigating the water. This maritime imagery is paired with traditional inscriptions including Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum. On the reverse, the coin features the historic Royal Mace of Norfolk, a symbol of the city's colonial heritage. This specific specimen has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65), preserving the intricate details of both the nautical obverse and the ceremonial reverse for modern enthusiasts to appreciate.
