Therefore, it is a common date for coin collectors. But, the “hero” of this column went to the auction block in September 2018 at Las Vegas sponsored by Legend Rare Coins. The pre-auction estimate was $15,000 to $17,000. The particular half dollar was certified by the Professional Coin Grading Company (PCGS) as a Mint State 67+ Full Bell Lines (FBL).
