1938-S Arkansas Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar MS-66 NGC
The 1938-S Arkansas Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar represents a fascinating moment in twentieth-century American numismatics. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this silver coin was produced in an incredibly limited run of only 3,150 pieces, making it a scarcer issue within the broader commemorative series. This particular specimen has survived in exceptional condition, certified by professional graders at Mint State 66 (MS-65). Crafted from 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.3617 troy ounces, the coin captures the spirit of the state's centennial celebration. Its design features a dual-date concept, displaying both the 1936 centennial year and the actual 1938 year of manufacture. The inscriptions on the coin include "ARKANSAS CENTENNIAL," "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR," alongside the traditional national mottoes.
