1936 Gettysburg Anniversary. MS-67 (PCGS).This is a wonderfully original example with splashes of reddish-russet and emerald green patina to smooth satin surfaces. Authorized by the Act of June 16, 1936 to commemorative the 75th anniversary of the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, the mintage for this type was 50,028 pieces, including 28 examples reserved for assay purposes. Only 26,900 coins were distributed, however, the remaining 23,100 examples melted. Superb Gems such as this are scarce from a condition standpoint and command a respectable premium in todays market.
