Commemorative Question?

I saw a coin with a neat rendition of the Charter Oak on the reverse. I think it was A CT. commemorative, probably a half dollar, but I can't remember. Is anyone familiar with this coin? Thanks forum folk.

The Connecticut comm half does have a very nice rendition of the charter oak on the front and a cool "art deco" eagle on the reverse. A very striking coin.

It's the Conn. coin.

The coin in questin seems to be the 1935 CT Tercentennery commemorative half dollar. They are very nice (IMO). I live in CT, (always have) and have been trying to get one I like, at a price I like, for a long time. Unfortunately, they are popular.

The Connecticut commem is one it seems that people either love or hate. I like the art-deco eagle and the rendition of the oak tree, as well as the charter oak on the 1999 washington. There is also an historic Oak tree here in South Bend, where a peace treaty was signed between the Indians in the area and the white settlers.

The coin you refer to is the Connecticut Tercentenary Half Dollar minted in 1935. The obverse depicts the Charter Oak very much alike the oak on the circulating state quarter. The link below will take you to my website with more info on the half as well as the stamps issued for the Connecticut Tercentenary.
