1920 50C PILGRIM NGC UNC DETAILS CLEANED

Presented here is a 1920 Pilgrim Tercentenary Half Dollar, a significant United States commemorative coin celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims' landing at Plymouth Rock. Designed by Cyrus E. Dallin, the obverse features William Bradford, while the reverse depicts the Mayflower under full sail. This coin represents an important piece of American history, capturing a pivotal moment in the nation's founding narrative through its artistic representation and historical context.

This particular example has been authenticated and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as "UNC DETAILS CLEANED". The "UNC DETAILS" designation indicates that the coin retains characteristics of an uncirculated specimen, meaning it likely saw no wear in circulation. However, the accompanying "CLEANED" notation signifies that the coin has undergone a past cleaning process. While cleaning can remove surface grime, it typically alters the original surfaces, impacting the coin's numismatic appeal and market value compared to an untouched specimen of similar grade, making it a more accessible option for collectors seeking historic pieces.
