1935 Hudson, New York Sesquicentennial. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.，Warmly patinated in autumn-gold, this wonderfully original Gem exhibits subtle powder blue, pale pink and antique gold highlights under a light. One of the scarcer and more conditionally challenging classic commemorative silver issues, just 10,000 1935 Hudson Sesquicentennial coins were struck for distribution, plus an additional eight pieces for Assay purposes. Most survivors grade no finer than MS-64, and the present example is especially nice, free of handling marks and with centers that are particularly smooth for the type. A find for the discerning specialist.<p>The city of Hudson, New York was founded in 1785 and named after Henry Hudson, who explored the area in 1609. Authorized by the Act of May 2, 1935, half dollars of this type commemorate the 150th anniversary of that founding.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired by gift from our consignors mother in the late 1930s.，
