The Long Island commemorative half dollar
was minted in 1936 to mark the 300th anniversary of the first
white settlement on Long Island, N. Y. The coin was designed
by Howard K. Weinman. Accolated heads of a Dutch settler and
an Indian are shown on the obverse. The reverse features a Dutch
sailing ship. Mintage was 81,826.
This Long Island half dollar is well struck with
lovely iridescent toning and minimum contact marks.
