1936 Norfolk. NGC MS-67. 1936 Norfolk. NGC MS-67.
Lot Title: 1936 Norfolk. NGC MS-67.
Description: The luster of a Norfolk commemorative differs from that of most other commemorative half dollars--and most other coins for that matter--in that the cartwheel effect is usually subdued as a consequence of strike. This is partly due to the fact that the obverse field was intentionally textured with numerous concentric circles polished into the die, the reverse field presents a pebbly texture, and also because the details are very “ busy,” particularly on the obverse. This amazing, premium Gem nonetheless presents an inexhaustible quantity of cartwheel luster on either side, a definitive characteristic of a powerful strike. Inspection under a glass confirms this notion in that this is a very well-developed coin, with detail that is significantly sharper than what is usually seen on this issue. Generally white, with an occasional carbon spot on the ship’s sails, and absolutely loaded with eye appeal.

1936 Norfolk, and a 1936 York, both NGC MS-67.
Complexity of the Norfolk design hides nothing given the superlative MS-67 grade, as both sides glint with steam-grey luster and a tasteful display of toast-gold on the reverse. The York benefits...

1936 Norfolk and 1936 York, both NGC MS-66 (no line).

1936 Norfolk, and a 1937 Roanoke, both NGC MS-66 (no line).

1936 Norfolk, and a 1937 Roanoke, both PCGS MS-66 (rattler).
The Norfolk is suffused with pale vanilla-yellow cast, as is the reverse of the Roanoke. A generous helping of apricot-gold patina gathers across the obverse of the latter coin, but in no way...
347The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$650.00
1936 Norfolk, and a 1937 Roanoke, both PCGS MS-66 (rattler).
Silver-grey color is nearly identical for each, though the Roanoke carries a dash of tobacco-brown toning along the left side of the reverse. Both are entirely as unmarked as expected in this two...
348The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$650.00
1936 Norfolk PCGS MS-66 (rattler), and a 1936 York PCGS MS-65...
Shimmering luster for the Norfolk is rejuvenated by a very bright obverse, while the reverse is tinged a half-shade with amber-silver tone. Meanwhile, almond-gold toning subtly tinges the York, but...

1936 Norfolk, and a 1936 York, both PCGS MS-66 (rattler).
Well preserved, the surfaces of the Norfolk are distraction free, even for a coin with such busy design elements, and there is plenty of white luster emanating from each side. Stunning, multi-faceted...
350The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$400.00
1936 Norfolk. PCGS MS-66.
Blinding white and bright with screaming luster, only the very center of the reverse displays the faintest implication of tone... and it is really faint. As demanded of MS-66, there are no noticeable...

1936 Norfolk. NGC MS-65.
A glittering gem that depicts considerable luster beneath a fragile layer of copper-gold tone. Surfaces are cleaner than might be expected even of an MS-65 grade, and highpoint details are splashed...
462The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$400.00
1936 Norfolk. PCGS MS-66.
The obverse of a 1936 Norfolk is a busy place indeed, with about as much verbiage as appears on any commemorative, not to mention a fine rendition of a sailing ship at the center of all the action. ...
447The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$500.00
1936 Norfolk. NGC MS-67 CAC.
Immaculately preserved patina is the cause explanation for rather subdued luster, but it is preferable to leave such an original coin as this is in it's current state, rather than try to "improve" it....

1936 Norfolk, 1936 Cleveland, and 1936 Wisconsin. MS-65.

1936 Norfolk and 1937 Roanoke commemorative half-dollars.
A pair of commemorative half-dollars, neither one certified. The 1936 Norfolk grades AU-58, and an accompanying 1937 Roanoke grades MS-60, cleaned, though this coin looks like a "gem" at first glance....

1936 (PDS) set of tab-toned PCGS MS-66 Norfolk commemoratives
