Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
A die trial for the 1935 Arkansas Centennial commemorative half dollar, struck to verify die quality before the production run began. The Arkansas Centennial half dollar was authorized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Arkansas' admission to the Union in 1836. The coin was designed by Edward Everett Burr, with Liberty and a Native American chief on the obverse and an eagle with a rising sun and diamonds on the reverse; it was issued each year from 1935 to 1939 at Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. This piece, Judd-A1935-1, is a reverse die trial in bronze, believed unique and now held in the commemorative reference collection of Bowers and Merena.
