Description: ONLY ONE IS FOR SALE-YOUR CHOICEIN 1986, I WAS LIVING IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, THERE WAS A LOT OF FAN FARE IN THE PAPERS AND ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE ONE THOUSAND HAND SELECTED BAY BRIDGE COMMEMORATIVE HALF DOLLARS THAT WERE PUT IN A BANK VAULT IN 1936 AND WERE GOING TO BE RELEASED FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BAY BRIDGE. THE ORIGINAL DESIGNER, JACQUES SCHNIER WAS LIVING IN WALNUT CREEK AT THE TIME AND THEY HAD HIM NUMBER AND SIGN THE HOLDERS FOR THE COINS WHICH WERE THEN SEALED. {HE DIED 2 YRS LATER}. I PUCHASED TEN OF THEM AT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE AND I HAVE SOLD EIGHT OF THEM OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS. IT MAY TAKE TEN YEARS BEFORE ANOTHER ONE COMES UP IN THESE SPECIAL HOLDERS. CUSTOMERS SUBMITTED TWO OF THE ONES I SOLD TO THE GRADING SERVICES AND BOTH CAME BACK 7'S. THEY WERE ALL BRILLIANT AT THE TIME, BUT THE ONE IN HOLDER 339 IS JUST STARTING TO TONE.
