Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 934		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	Realized $81
Lot 935		1892 Columbian Half Dollar. MS-60 Prooflike. Mostly brilliant with a patch of purple left obverse. View details	Realized $17
Lot 936		1893 Columbian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Mint-fresh luster throughout and completely untoned. Examination with a glass will find very few signs of contact, which is quite unusual for this issue. Most found are banged up, and fall miles short of the gem class we have here. View details	Realized $702
Lot 937		1935 Connecticut Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Lightly toned around the periphery, and with most of the original luster. Clean surfaces for the grade. View details	Unsold
Lot 938		1935 Connecticut Half Dollar. MS-63. A satiny jewel with silver-pastel color. Delightful! View details	Realized $173
Lot 939		1936 Delaware Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Superb, despite some tiny fritzies in the sails. Silvery white and yellow gold. Pristine. View details	Realized $1,380
Lot 940		1936 Delaware Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Blazing white luster on both sides, with only a hint of toning around the rims. One tick mark on the tower, a few others on the sails. View details	Realized $265
Lot 941		1936 Delaware Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Some light fritzies may be found on both sides, but this Gem Uncirculated commem is original as can be. In fact, the cardboard-holder outline is visible on the obverse, which produces a halo of deep magenta encircling a lighter silvery center. The ship side is exquisite, showing a bouncing luster covered by a delicate silvery golden green iridescence. An uninspired design but a gorgeous coin. View details	Unsold
Lot 942		1936 Delaware Half Dollar. MS-64. Silvery gray with some hits on the ship's sails. Pleasing enough. View details	Realized $184
Lot 943		1936 Elgin Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Some deep gray toning lies beneath marvelous magenta-gold color, with hues of green, blue and silver here and there. It's elegant. View details	Unsold
Lot 944		1936 Elgin Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Hazy original toning on both sides, with satiny subdued luster throughout. A pleasant gem coin. View details	Realized $184
Lot 945		1936 Elgin Half Dollar. MS-63. Snow-white satiny luster, a jewel of a Choice BU. View details	Realized $138
Lot 946		1936 Gettysburg Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Struck to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, considered the turning point in the Civil War. This coin was authorized in 1936, coined in 1937 and sold in 1938 at a reunion for the surviving members that fought in the battle July 1-3, 1862. The event was important enough that President Roosevelt showed up to light the eternal flame of the peace memorial. An untoned, flashy commemorative that is difficult to locate in gem condition. View details	Unsold
Lot 947		1936 Gettysburg Half Dollar. MS-64. Gleaming silvery white luster. Flashy. View details	Realized $288
Lot 948		1922 Grant Half Dollar, with star. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. One of the great rarities of the commemorative half dollar series, the Grant with star is seldom found in choice grades, and almost never in gem. This near gem should attract considerable attention. Examination with a glass fails to turn up anything more than light contact marks, and virtually no toning. View details	Realized $1,955
Lot 949		1922 Grant Half Dollar, no star. PCGS graded MS-65. A perfect coin for the grade, lightly toned on both sides, with full luster underneath, and free of bagmarks. Outstanding quality. View details	Realized $805
Lot 950		1922 Grant Half Dollar, no star, and others. EF-45 to MS-63. Nice lot consisting of the Grant plus these half dollars: 1923-S Monroe, 1925 Stone Mountain, 1926 Sesqui, 1935-S San Diego, 1936 Cleveland, 1936-S Bay Bridge, and 1936 Long Island. Should garner lots of bids, this lot. Total of 8 coins. View details	Realized $322
Lot 951		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. MS-64. None of the usual lime-green toning here. This one is a lovely light silvery gray with nary an abrasion. As pleasing as any untoned 64 Hawaiian can be! View details	Realized $1,898
Lot 952		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Probably dipped some time in the past as the surfaces don't show the usual yellow-green toning seen on this issue. A couple of minor tick marks on Mr. Cook, otherwise clean for a choice coin and always in demand as one of the rarest commemorative half dollars. Well struck throughout. View details	Realized $1,495
Lot 953		1935 Hudson Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Frosty white luster throughout, with an arc of gold toning starting to form along the edge. Average strike, but clean unmarked surfaces. View details	Realized $1,064

Lot 959		1918 Illinois Half Dollar. AU-58. Brilliant and very decent. Total of 2 coins. View details	Realized $115
Lot 960		1946 Iowa Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Unimprovable quality for the issue, delicate toning, strong strike and abundant eye-appeal. View details	Unsold
Lot 961		1925 Lexington-Concord Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. With a hint of bluish toning in the cloth on the plow, and lightly toned on the rims, otherwise frosty white luster blazes forth from the fields. One pretty fair scrape on the lower part of the reverse tower, keeping this from an even higher grade. View details	Unsold
Lot 962		1925 Lexington-Concord Half Dollar. MS-63. Bright silvery white luster, a couple of marks on the belfry. View details	Realized $52
Lot 963		1925 Lexington-Concord Half Dollar. MS-60 to MS-63. Light hairlines on one, a long but soft scuff on the nicer "Patriot Half," both brilliant. Total of 2 coins. View details	Realized $98
Lot 964		1936 Long Island Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66.

The reverse is a fabulous melding of deep pastel mauve and lime-green colors. Yikes! What a coin! View details	Unsold
Lot 965		1936 Long Island Half Dollar. ANACS graded MS-65. Lightly toned and well preserved. View details	Realized $242

Lot 973		1921 Missouri Half Dollar, 2 x 4. NGC graded MS-64. Subdued luster by a light haze of toning and mostly white. A glass will locate some minor tick marks on the cheek, the reverse cleaner with more devices to distribute bagmarks on. Seldom found better, and tough with the 2*4 on the obverse. View details	Realized $1,294
Lot 974		1921 Missouri Half Dollar, 2 x 4. MS-61. Nice silvery luster with no sizable abrasions, just fritzies and light lines. Very pleasing, despite the numerical grade. View details	Realized $604
Lot 975		1921 Missouri Half Dollar, no 2 x 4. PCGS graded MS-64. The obverse has a faint haze of toning over the lustrous fields, the reverse is brighter and more flashy. One of the early commemoratives released to the collecting public, most of these were not well preserved and are seldom found in grades above choice. Such is often a fact of life, when coins are distributed to non collectors, they usually acquire a number of nicks and handling marks. For this reason, these Missouri's are rare in near gem grades. View details	Realized $1,380
Lot 976		1921 Missouri Half Dollar, no 2 x 4. PCGS graded MS-64. Frosty and untoned on either side. Some slide marks are noted on Boone's cheek. One of the more difficult commemoratives to locate in high grades. View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 977		1923 Monroe Doctrine Half Dollar. Hallmark graded MS-64 Premium Quality. A scarce coin in this grade which is further enhanced by an even scarcer grading service. Most of the Hallmark coins we see have been in collections for years, like this coin. Areas of golden toning on both sides, somewhat mottled, but still very lustrous. Clean surfaces and nearly a gem. View details	Realized $253
Lot 978		1923-S Monroe Doctrine Half Dollar. MS-63. Pale silvery gold iridescent toning, nice surfaces other than some minor ticks. View details	Realized $115
Lot 979		1923-S Monroe Doctrine Half Dollar. MS-63. Bright and very pleasing, with wild splashes of bright iridescent golden green toning. Just beautiful. View details	Realized $391
Lot 980		1923 Monroe Doctrine Half Dollars. 4 pieces. EF-45 to AU-55. Plenty of luster but slight wear, no major blemishes. Off to Germany we go! Total of 4 coins. View details	Realized $81
Lot 981		1938 New Rochelle Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. This sale has been blessed with some truly marvelous coins, and here is surely one of the standouts. Aside from its near-perfect surfaces, this commem gleams with splendid lime-green iridescence relieved by some lighter gold and mauve hues. The center of the obverse also sparkles with silver luster breaking through the color. View details	Unsold
Lot 982		1938 New Rochelle Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66 Prooflike. This unusual coin looks like a brilliant Proof Franklin half dollar--it's that bright and silvery. No toning at all, not a wisp of color, along with the mirror-like surfaces produce a stunning and unusually beautiful example. View details	Realized $1,668
Lot 983		1938 New Rochelle Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. With speckled lilac toning on both sides over lustrous fields. Free of the usual bagmarks. View details	Realized $322
