1936 York County Tercentenary Half Dollar
The story behind this coin
York County, Maine, celebrated three centuries with its county arms and a stockaded settlement scene. Walter H. Rich designed the coin and managed its local distribution. A single Philadelphia issue and controlled sales kept the program simpler than contemporary multi-mint promotions.
