I'd have preferred a 1936, the Centennial was in 1936, hehe... my Half is a year early. I got this coin for $165. The guy was a little mad. Said he paid $160 for it. He told me the table for the 3 day long coin show cost him $500. Wow! How's a guy supposed to make any money? Lol... He didn't HAVE to sell it to me, but he may have just wanted to generate some cash flow.
