Colonial Masterpiece: 1937 Roanoke Half Dollar MS 65

A stunning gem that commemorates one of the earliest chapters of American history, the 1937 Roanoke Half Dollar in MS 65 condition is a prized collectible. Struck to mark the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Roanoke Colony—the “Lost Colony”—this coin tells the tale of America’s first English settlement and its enduring mystery.

The obverse features a detailed portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh, the visionary behind the Roanoke expedition. His regal stance, adorned in armor and Elizabethan fashion, is captured with exquisite detail. The reverse depicts Ellinor Dare, holding her infant daughter Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the Americas. The design’s depth and clarity are incredible, with each feature meticulously struck.

In MS 65, this coin radiates mint-fresh luster, with immaculate surfaces and shimmering cartwheels. The details of Raleigh’s figure and Dare’s gown are especially sharp, showing the exceptional quality of the strike. Touches of pastel hues and soft toning add a layer of elegance, enhancing its eye appeal.
