Colorful Arkansas half dollar

coingame2000

I sold this coin to our very own Bear a couple of years ago -- it's a PCGS MS66 1937-D Arkansas that is much prettier than normally encountered.

Nice.

Bear has pretty good taste, for somebody who poops in the woods and eats berries and stuff.

It looks like the Arkansas that Bustman had up on the BST and just sold on eBay. I wanted it, but with the cost of a trip from Korea to the ANA in Denver and wanting to have a few cents in my pocket at the show I just couldn't stretch that far. A really pretty coin that would have fit nicely in my collection.

I've never collected classic commems. Not that I don't like them, I just never got around to collecting them when I was collecting. Probably couldn't have afforded to, anyway.

I've had Columbian halves, of course. And a San Diego and Stone Mountain and Pilgrim. Maybe a BTW and a Washington-Carver.

The only Oregon Trail I've ever owned came out of the dirt- sort of by a happy accident, you might say.

That's all I can remember having. One of the Pilgrims I had was a raw MS64 and my San Diego was a PCGS 63. Being a descendant of William Bradford, I really should have a nice Pilgrim half.

Classic commems are cool. I just totally lack experience with 'em. I think if I ever were to collect them, I would go for raw AU55-58 coins in a Dansco. That strikes me as a fun way to do it.

Maybe if I had nine lives like a cat, or lived to be 900 like some of those Old Testament guys, I could dig an entire commem type set while using my detector. I certainly don't expect to ever find another in this lifetime.

The reverse is nice but I don't care for the obverse. Nice colors, but a blue indian? Not exactly the picture you would paint if you could have placed those colors. Since it is all about eye appeal, I do think this is a factor. Every time I would pick it up I'd focus on the blue indian. Definitely not a coin for me.
