Unique 1936 Long Island Tercentenary U.S. Commemorative Half Dollar With a Minor Curved Clip
Clipped planchets on U.S. Commemorative Half Dollars are very rare. This Long Island Tercentenary Commemorative Half Dollar has a clipped planchet at 11:00. The clip is clearly visible on both the obverse and reverse.
A nice example of a curved clip on a Commemorative Half Dollar.
Recently I purchased the unique 1936 plaster model and galvanos from the estate of Howard Weinman, the designer and sculptor for the Long Island Tercentenary Half Dollar.
