1921 Missouri Centennial. 2x4. MS-64 (PCGS).，This essentially brilliant Choice half dollar exhibits satiny mint luster on both sides. The Missouri commemorative half dollar was issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the admission of that state into the Union. The authorizing Act of March 4, 1921, allowed for a maximum mintage of 250,000 coins, but in the end only 50,000 pieces were struck: 5,000 with 2x4 in the left obverse field signifying Missouris status as the 24th state, and 45,000 without this added feature. Lagging sales resulted in 29,600 examples of the plain variant being returned to the Mint for melting, although all of the 2x4 examples were distributed.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired by gift from our consignors mother in the late 1930s.，
