In mint grade, the coin's rarity increases, especially in higher grades where intricate details and original luster are preserved. Circulated specimens, though more readily available, still hold historical and collector appeal.

An interesting fact is that the coin's obverse design features the portrait of the famous Connecticut colonial leader, John Winthrop, Jr. The reverse depicts the famous Charter Oak, a symbol of resistance against British authority during the late 1600s. The combination of historical significance, intricate design, and limited mintage makes the 1935 Connecticut Commemorative Half Dollar a cherished piece for collectors and a tangible link to Connecticut's colonial past.
