AN ACT
To authorize the coinage of 50-cent pieces in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Cincinnati, Ohio, as a center of music, and its contribution to the art of music for the past fifty years.

One of the leading examples of why early commemoratives were laid to rest by Congressional Act.

Designed by Miss Constance Ortmayer. Number coined – P 5,005, D 5,005, SF 5,006.

Low mintage numbers which make it an expensive example to add to a set but not difficult to find in 65 and above.

That is beauty and looks to have great luster under the superb toning...thank you.

I'm almost embarrassed to show mine after the example BG posted but here's a couple of 65s anyway (the first one is CAC'd)...

It's a nice design and I'd really like to get one being in the city but I cant justify those prices. All the examples thus far are really nice

I watch them weekly go for $500+ on ebay - even cleaned junkers get at least $150! You could buy a really nice slabbed example of plenty of other designs for that money.

I used to own this one:

These are really tough to find with 65+ surfaces a nice color.

While there are no real rarities in the commem set there are several condition scarities. The S mint Cincinnati with color would be near the top of the list. MJ

Love, love, LOVE the "San Diego" specimen BG posted. Mine's only a 64, so not qualified for this thread.

It would appear that Miss Ortmeyer was also underway designing what should have been the York half dollar, but misheard "York" and instead started designing a Yorick half dollar. It being 1936, she didn't give the absurdity of that theme a second thought.

you can see some die polishing

I hate the Cincinatti design but actually a few of these are nice. ( Better than Rhode Island though! )
