A leading highlight of the Mack C. Chase Collection, this is the single finest certified Mint State 1940 half dollar. It is a virtually flawless Ultra Gem with smooth, billowy satin luster flowing serenely over both sides. The surfaces are further enhanced by crescents of multicolored pastel iridescence that are most vivid and varied at the peripheries. Sharply to fully struck throughout with unimprovable quality and eye appeal to spate. With no examples certified finer, this stunning beauty is a prime candidate for a high end collection on the NGC Set Registry or the ultimate Mint State type set. It will see fierce bidding competition when it crosses the auction block.
