1921 50c Missouri 2x4

Coin / United States of America / 50c / Classic Commemoratives / 1921 / Philadelphia

1921 Missouri half dollars mark the 100th anniversary of the Show-Me State's admission to the Union as the 24th state. The coins, designed by Robert Aitken, were issued in two different varieties: one with a numerical inscription 2*4 indicating Missouri's place as the 24th state and another without the marking; these are known as plain Missouri half dollars. <BR><BR> While it is unknown exactly how many 1921 Missouri 2*4 halves were distributed, but they are one of the rarest regular issues in the classic commemorative series. Most of the Missouri 2*4 half dollars are found in AU50 to MS64 grades, with MS65 rare and pieces grading MS66 or higher proving very rare.
