Day 8: Twelve Days of Christmas, Sublime Sunday

in LeoFinance5 months ago (edited)

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Let me show you the next coin on my Christmas wish list!

Have you ever been to Arkansas? Here are things I read about this state.

  1. First, you pronounce the name of the state as “Ar-ken-saw”, not how you would pronounce Kansas.
  2. The French founded the first European settlement in Arkansas.
  3. Arkansas was the home state of the 42nd president of the United States, Bill Clinton.
  4. In 1957, a high school in the state capital of Arkansas was a battleground for civil rights. Segregation in public schools was declared unconstitutional in 1954, but it took some time for Arkansas to implement this ruling.The 1957 Little Rock Nine, a group of nine African American students who tried to enroll at Little Rock Central High School, marked a turning point in the matter. However, the governor of Arkansas was adamantly against the plan and sent the National Guard troops from the state to the high school to stop the Little Rock Nine from entering. President Dwight D. Eisenhower acted quickly to step in when he learned about this.The president was forced to use force after three weeks of trying to talk to the governor of Arkansas and work things out. Consequently, the president dispatched a thousand soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to accompany the kids to school.
    A key moment in the US civil rights movement is thought to have occurred at this time.
  5. The sole operational diamond mine in the United States is located in Arkansas. The Crater of Diamonds State Park, in Pike County, Arkansas, is the last remaining diamond mining location in the United States.
  6. In Arkansas it is illegal to honk a car horn after 9pm in the vicinity of establishments that sell sandwiches or cold drinks.

Okay, here's the coin!

1936 Arkansas 100th Anniversary of the Statehood

This coin was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Arkansas's entry to the Union. Three different mints in five different years ultimately produced the Arkansas Centennial Half Dollars. The coins proved divisive because of the constant variations made expressly to appeal to collectors. Also, the rising issue prices as the mintage for subsequent issues shrank became an issue.

The head of Liberty and a Native American wearing a headdress are depicted on the obverse design. Along with the words "Arkansas Centennial" below and "Liberty" on Liberty's cap, the centennial dates "1836" and "1936" are displayed. This side is referred to as the reverse in various publications and US Mint documents, but it was first unclear which was the obverse of the coin. For this side of the coin, a new design that featured a senator who was still alive at the time of issuance was released in 1936.

This is not the Arkansas-Robinson half dollar. It was a special issue of the Arkansas Centennial half dollar, minted in 1936 and featuring a different design. The coin featured Joseph Taylor Robinson, who represented Arkansas in the U.S. Senate at the time. He was the third of four living people depicted on U.S. coinage. The 1936 Robinson-Arkansas Half Dollar is a totally a different issue.

The reverse of the coin features an eagle with the Arkansas flag in the background.

At the onset, the Arkansas Half Dollar was struck in a modest quantity of 13,012 pieces at the Philadelphia Mint with an additional 5,505 from Denver and 5,506 from San Francisco. The Philadelphia issues were sold at an issue price of $1 each, while the mint marked coins were purchased in a bulk transaction by a coin dealer and subsequently sold for $2.75 each. This initial situation was a taste of things to come.
In the following year, coins from three different mints were initially offered for $1 each, but the price was quickly raised to $1.50 per coin, and eventually sold as sets of three coins for $6.75. The following year three coin sets were sold at $8.75, which was eventually raised to $10. This would also be the price of the 1939 sets.
From the maximum authorized mintage of 500,000 coins, eventually there were 85,302 of the Arkansas Centennial Half Dollars sold across all years and mints.1


The going price for this coins is:

You are really shocking me on your choices. Not that they aren’t nice coins but there are some really nice commemorative half dollars that you haven’t posted.

There may be a side of me that you are just noticing. I like vintage American coins and rounds. But American coins are out of my range... the rounds and bars are still affordable.

The Reverse with the Eagle is equally impressive!😀

They are such impressive birds of prey @silversaver888!😀
I remember in Colorado I had one fly in front of my car and almost hit the windshield. They are huge birds!😳😀

I feel like the commemorative coins are great pieces, but an expensive rabbit hole I don't dare go down, for fear my wallet will spontaneously combust. 😆

Yeah best time.

Pretty cool coin and something interesting i recently discover is that through coins like this one can delve deeper into history and acquire one thing or two.

Yes, that is so true. I am finding that I'm learning more about history (and retaining it) now that I am stacking than when I was in school!

A piece of wonder minted in 1936. The newer coins minted with newer technology usually have finer details but this itself details a rich part of history for America.
