1935 Hudson, New York Sesquicentennial. MS-67+ (PCGS).This wholly original and superb quality Hudson exhibits pretty golden-apricot, pale pink and light russet peripheral toning around a pale silver center on the obverse, while the reverse is more lightly patinated with delicate champagne-gold iridescence at the border. Both sides are intensely lustrous with exceptionally smooth surfaces for the type.<p>One of the scarcer and more conditionally challenging classic commemorative silver issues, just 10,000 1935 Hudson Sesquicentennial coins were struck for distribution, plus an additional eight pieces for Assay purposes. Most survivors grade no finer than MS-64, and the present example is especially nice. A find for the discerning specialist.<p>The city of Hudson, New York was founded in 1785 and named after Henry Hudson, who explored the area in 1609. Authorized by the Act of May 2, 1935, half dollars of this type commemorate the 150th anniversary of that founding.PCGS# 9312. NGC ID: BYGS.PCGS Population: 12; 0 finer.
