1936-D PCGS MS65 Columbia CAC

A stunning 1936-D Columbia Commemorative Half Dollar graded MS65 by Professional Coin Grading Service, this piece combines solid Gem quality with truly eye-catching originality. Issued by the United States Mint to honor the 400th anniversary of Columbia, South Carolina, the coin features a bold portrait of George Rogers Clark on the obverse and a detailed depiction of the city’s seal on the reverse. The surfaces are clean and well-struck for the grade, with strong luster radiating beneath the toning.

What sets this example apart is the incredible ring toning—a natural, multicolored halo that frames the coin with vibrant bands of gold, browns, and earth tones. This kind of toning typically forms from long-term storage in original holders, and collectors prize it for both its beauty and authenticity. The contrast between the blazing cartwheel luster and the concentric color makes this coin a true display piece—premium quality with serious visual appeal.
