1936 Cleveland Centennial/Great Lakes Exposition. MS-68 (PCGS). CAC.A beautifully toned Superb Gem displaying a blend of tangerine, violet, and olive green iridescence. These colors are emphasized by pearlescent underlying luster that softly cartwheels across each side. Sharply defined throughout all elements and fully untouched by friction. With 50,000 coins struck and eventually distributed, the 1936 Cleveland has one of the more generous mintages in the classic commemorative series. This is a readily obtainable issue in most grade, but survivors are seldom offered above the MS-66 level. In premium quality Superb Gem, as here, the Cleveland is undeniably rare and eagerly sought by the most discerning collectors. This piece is tied with just one other as the finest certified by PCGS.
