The Connecticut commemorative half dollar
was minted to mark the 300th anniversary of the founding of the
colony of Connecticut in 1935. The obverse features a bald eagle
with wings folded. The reverse features the "Charter Oak"
where the Royal Charter was hidden during the reign of James
II who wanted to revoke it. The Connecticut half was designed
by Henry Kreis. Mintage was 25,018.
This Connecticut commemorative half dollar has
a great strike, good lustre, lovely toning and minimum contact
marks. A very pleasing example.
