Lot 1756		1937 Antietam Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. Despite a few ticks on the obverse, hidden in the color, this coin has a stunning appearance. Both sides are similarly bathed in shimmering, bright golden iridescent toning over top of original, gleaming silvery luster. Truly beautiful and one of the finest to be had. View details	Unsold
Lot 1757		1938 Arkansas Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. This superb coin has the usual pale silvery luster endemic in this issue, with touches of bright gold on the rims. We can't find anything but the tiniest of ticks, meaning that the surfaces are just terrific. View details	Realized $2,530
Lot 1758		1936 Bay Bridge Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Superb surfaces and blazing luster throughout, without toning to hide non-existent tick marks. A real winner. View details	Realized $1,035
Lot 1759		1934 Boone Half Dollar. MS-64. Brilliant and very choice. View details	Unsold
Lot 1760		1935 Boone Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. Ole Dan'l looks really fine on this delightful Gem. No marks. Mostly the color is a wonderful silvery white, and some bright golden iridescent toning shimmers around the rims and into the field before Boone's face. A few dots of green may be found in the center of the reverse. View details	Unsold
Lot 1761		1936 Boone Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. The booming silver luster just took the cataloguer's breath away. No exaggeration. You will see some small abrasions on Daniel's cheekbones, jaw and hair, but these are overwhelmed by the luster and by the splendid band of intensely bright golden amber and deep blue iridescence on the peripheries (more of it on the reverse).

Lot 1762		1936-S Boone Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. View details	Realized $58
Lot 1763		1892 Columbian Half Dollar. MS-63. A choice original coin having a lovely halo of bright blue and gold iridescence on its obverse periphery. View details	Unsold
Lot 1764		1893 Columbian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A real choice coin with a lot of eye appeal. Strong luster and totally original: dark golds to light silvery iridescence. If you don't like this, you don't know what "original" means. View details	Realized $121
Lot 1765		Gem Grant With Star. PCGS graded MS-65. Brilliant with all the usual die-polishing lines, slight flatness on Grant's hair above his ear, as so often seen, but very few contact marks. Rare so nice. One of the toughest commemoratives to find in full gem condition. View details	Unsold
Lot 1766		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Some small marks and even a chattermark or two don't detract much from this beautiful coin. Its surfaces are fully original and exhibit the bright silvery luster and pale-lime color so typical of this issue. Nobody will dislike this one. View details	Realized $4,485
Lot 1767		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Despite a mark on Captain Cook's face and a scuff before his schnozzle, this is a Choice coin which seems appropriately graded by the experts. It also has the familiar toning gotten from the holders these were distributed in--pale lime-yellow iridescence mixed with lilac. A nice one. View details	Unsold
Lot 1768		1935 Hudson Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Lots of flash beneath original light silvery gold iridescent toning, with some haze on the sails. A few light bagmarks and a small mark on the whale by Neptune's knee, but a Gem coin and fairly rare so nice. View details	Unsold
Lot 1769		1935 Hudson Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Brilliant and a must-see example of the rare Hudson half dollar. The slab is broken at the corner; the coin should be reholdered. View details	Realized $1,553
Lot 1770		1924 Huguenot-Walloon Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Tawny golden iridescent gray toning with brighter gold patches at the peripheries. Some tiny abrasions beneath the appealing color. View details	Unsold
Lot 1771		1936 Lynchburg Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Tiny ticks in the design and a kind of gouge on Liberty's right leg (our left, her right) mean this coin is not perfect, but it truly is spectacular in quality. The gleaming silvery surfaces exhibit the colors of the rainbow, all in delicate hues of pinkish lavender and lime-green gold. Oh, man, is this ever gorgeous! View details	Realized $1,150
Lot 1772		1936 Lynchburg Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. This coin deserves a 66 and to be labeled Superb. Some minor ticks only. Most pleasing, pale golden lilac iridescent toning, evenly distributed on both sides. A delight! View details	Unsold
Lot 1773		1936 Lynchburg Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Silvery brilliance with an undipped look. Could just as reasonably be in an MS64 slab. Sure to please as a Choice coin! View details	Realized $138
Lot 1774		1920 Maine Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Original surfaces with a tawny gold and silver look to them. Tiny black flecks of toning, indicative of an undipped silver coin. View details	Unsold
Lot 1775		1934 Maryland Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Silvery luster with a hint of bright gold. No complaints. View details	Realized $265
Lot 1776		1921 Missouri Half Dollar, no 2 x 4. NGC graded MS-64. Silvery bright with nothing untoward to report. In fact, it's only the vague dipped look that probably kept this out of a 65 slab. View details	Realized $1,323
Lot 1777		1923 Monroe Doctrine Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. There just isn't any reason this beautiful coin should not be in an MS65 slab. Original silvery surfaces with splashes of amber-gold iridescence all over the obverse. View details	Realized $311
Lot 1778		1936 Norfolk Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-68. Perfect surfaces. The aluminum-foil silver color underlies an iridescent amber-gold toning that splashes all over both sides, creating a visual feast. If you like these, you will never improve on this one, we don't imagine. View details	Unsold
Lot 1779		1937-D Oregon Trail Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Oh, wow! Here's a true jewel of a coin. Flawless surfaces, a microscopic tick or two (only in the frost), gorgeous "aluminum foil" silver luster with patches of dark amber iridescent toning around the obverse periphery, and speckling the entire reverse. Truly superb. View details	Unsold
Lot 1780		1920 Pilgrim Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Frosty and bright, with lovely iridescent toning around the edges. Boldly struck and lovely in every way. View details	Realized $920
Lot 1781		1936 Robinson-Arkansas Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. In a first generation "slab". View details	Realized $98
Lot 1782		1935-S San Diego Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. An absolutely splendid coin with the finest kind of iridescent toning: sparkling light to amber gold, some blues and greens flashing like neon signs, and beneath it all perfectly original silvery luster. That's enough. You just can't find much better or prettier than this! View details	Unsold
Lot 1783		1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A delicate, pale lilac iridescence covers some lines and abrasions, but this coin retains plenty of luster and is far finer than many of these we've reviewed in 64 cases. View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 1784		1925 Stone Mountain Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. View details	Realized $49
Lot 1785		1946 Booker T. Washington Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Beautiful light sunset tones and in a 1st generation PCGS holder. View details	Realized $29
