Lot 998		1938 Oregon Trail Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Some bright aluminum-foil colored silver luster shines through otherwise deep and handsome purplish red toning.

Lot 1002		1939-D Oregon Trail Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. The memory of those hardy pioneers trekking along that dirt trail could not be more vividly portrayed than on the surfaces of this glorious specimen.

Lot 1003		1939-D Oregon Trail Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. Excellent surfaces, needless to say, but here the color adds a dimension to MS-67 that others of its ilk may not be lucky enough to possess. The toning is a deep iridescent magenta and lime-green on the obverse, while the other side shows a bright silvery center surrounded by a halo of russet gold. A joy to look at! View details	Unsold
Lot 1004		1939-PDS Oregon Trail Half Dollars. MS-64 to MS-65. A lovely, golden brown and brilliant group, probably original as a set. Total of 3 coins. View details	Realized $978
Lot 1005		1915 Panama-Pacific Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. A splendid coin for the grade, the rims are graced by deep golden to brown toning and the centers have original haze. Another early commemorative that was seldom held by collectors and hence most today are nicked up or even lightly circulated. These were coined to be sold to attendees of the Panana Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, and have always been popular with collectors. If you have been searching for an original, near gem example of this commemorative, then buy this coin. View details	Realized $978
Lot 1006		1915 Panama-Pacific Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. A choice, totally white Brilliant Uncirculated example. View details	Realized $575
Lot 1007		1915 Panama-Pacific Half Dollar. AU-50. A pair of edge marks on obverse, but this is very nice for the grade. Mostly silvery white, with some of the ring toning from the original holder still showing. View details	Realized $173

Lot 1012		1921 Pilgrim Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. 1st Generation slab, from the days when they were mega-tight. This proves how things have changed, for here is a splendid Gem with aluminum-foil silvery surfaces showing splashes of gold iridescence. The luster here is as intense as the cataloguer has ever seen, period. View details	Realized $506
Lot 1013		1921 Pilgrim Half Dollar. MS-63. Light silvery amber-gold iridescent toning, lovely surfaces, flashy luster. View details	Realized $150

Lot 1027		1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. One of the really difficult Commemoratives to find in full gem condition (the price for a full MS 65 is about ten times the price of MS 64). Hazy toning on both sides over lustrous fields. Minor hairlines are noted, but few handling marks. One of the earlier Commemoratives struck, most were distributed to non collectors, accounting for the rarity of full gems. An excellent compromise for the collector seeking value for their collecting budget. View details	Unsold
Lot 1028		1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar. MS-63. Original surfaces and golden silvery toning from an envelope, well preserved with good luster. Beautiful for one of these, which are so often found dull. View details	Realized $86
Lot 1029		1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollars (Three). AU-50. Dipped and hairlined but far from ugly. Total of 3 coins. View details	Realized $98
Lot 1030		1935 Old Spanish Trail Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65.

Untoned and frosty, and a gem worthy of an advanced collection. View details	Realized $874
Lot 1031		1935 Old Spanish Trail Half Dollar. MS-65. The longhorn seldom looks this good. Bright silvery luster on the usual slightly pebbly surfaces, no marks other than a nearly invisible, scattered tick or two. View details	Realized $633
Lot 1032		1925 Stone Mountain Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. A lovely gem example of this commemorative that boasts original toning and clean devices. View details	Realized $161
