UNITED STATES: AR 50 cents, 1936, KM-173, Albany Charter Commemorative, an incredible lightly toned example! PCGS graded MS67, R, ex Marcel Hoessly Collection. The Albany half dollar is a mid-range rarity for the silver commemorative series. The original mintage was 25,013. Of those, 13 were assay issues and 7,342 were melted as unsold at the issue price of $2. That leaves a net distributed mintage of 17,671, about mid-range mintage size for silver commemoratives. Of the original mintage, probably 12,000 to 15,000 survive today, nearly all of them mint state. These are readily obtainable in MS64 to MS66 grades, but they are rare in MS67 or better.
