1936-D Rhode Island Tercentenary. MS-68 (NGC).Frosty luster with brilliant centers and deep jewel tones at the peripheries of this exceptionally nice example of this otherwise common commemorative half dollar. Completely original and very close to perfection. Among the nicest Rhode Island half dollars we could ever hope to see. Designed by Arthur Graham Carey & John Howard Benson, the 1936-D issue has a smaller mintage than the 1936 by about 25%, yet it is just slightly more difficult to come by. Of course at this level of preservation any Rhode Island half is as rare as the proverbial hens tooth.
