Lot 1905		1953 and 1957 Proof sets. Each five piece set is choice and the silver has a slight blush of toning. Both are mounted in a red Capital plastics style holder. Lot of 2 sets or 10 coins. Estimated Value $120 - 150. View details	Realized $196
Lot 1906		WONDERFUL 144 PIECE COMMEMORATIVE SET. PCGS graded MS-64. An amazing set, many of the coins are in old style small PCGS holders, and we note many possible upgrades are included, some maybe more than a single mint state point! The coins are mostly untoned, but some have light peripheral toning. These were obviously hand picked by a fastidious collector who demanded top quality from this near-gem grade and no doubt many pieces were rejected to find coins of this quality for the assigned grade. Obviously, this set would save a collector untold hours of time by having a well matched set already assembled. Estimated Value $30,000-UP. View details	Realized $41,975

Lot 1911		1893 Isabella Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. One of the finest graded of this important commemorative issue. Only 85 have been graded this high, with 17 higher by PCGS. Deep blue and rose hues on both sides, with frosty luster beneath on the obverse, a bit lighter with gold on the reverse. Firmly impressed by the dies and certain to please the numismatist who wants a high-end gem example. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,290
Lot 1912		1893 Isabella Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. An exceptional coin for the grade because of its antique blue and gold toning on both sides, and full and complete strike. The surfaces show no signs of handling, and we wonder if this coin might be a grade higher. Frosty luster under the toning, and extremely appealing for a "mere" gem of this early commemorative issue. Any collector of toned coins will love this one. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,128
Lot 1913		1893 Isabella Quarter Dollar. ANACS graded MS-65. This coin is graced by lovely antique blue and gold toning around the periphery, with frosty luster in the fields on both sides. Fully struck by the dies, and extremely well preserved. As a gem, this important Commemorative quarter is truly desirable, few are found this nice, most were mishandled over the decades by careless owners. Back in 1893 there weren't many collectors around to preserve such a piece, and most were sold to attendees of the Exposition. If you have been searching for a gem example that boasts gorgeous toning, then bid high on this lot. Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725
Lot 1914		1937 Antietam Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Premium quality. Mint fresh luster and lightly toned around the periphery with deep gold colors. In an old PCGS holder. Estimated Value $300 - 350. View details	Realized $863

Lot 1916		1934 Boone Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. One of the very finest graded of this date, with just 13 graded this high and none graded higher. This one has delightful lilac to rose toning on the left side of the obverse, with a bit of sunshine yellow on the right. The toning on the reverse is even lighter, and what little color there is only enhances this beautiful coin. Sharply impressed and carefully preserved. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438

Lot 1918		1925 California Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Stunning example of this popular early Commemorative half dollar. Lightly toned around the periphery and especially lustrous. The strike too, is bold and complete. As with most of the early commemoratives, they did not sell many to collectors, hence most show signs of handling, not so here, this one is as nice and fresh as the day it was coined, aside from the delicate peripheral toning. Estimated Value $900 - 950. View details	Realized $1,495
Lot 1919		1925 California Half Dollar. MS-63. Magnificent sunset toning on both sides. A stunning coin and worthy of a premium bid. Estimated Value $120 - 140. View details	Realized $230
Lot 1920		1954 Carver-Washington Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Gorgeous peripheral toning around the edges of this coin, frosty white at the centers. Nothing like a little "Americanism" to get the patriot roused up in all of us. PCGS has only graded 9 this high, with none graded higher. An opportunity for the Commemorative half specialist to nail down a really rare gem issue. Estimated Value $250 - 300. View details	Realized $978
Lot 1921		1936-D Cincinnati Music Center Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. One of only 13 so graded by PCGS, with none graded higher, in fact, of the PDS set, only 15 coins have been graded this high, and none have been graded higher! That makes this coin one of the very finest known of the type. The surfaces show a remarkable amount of frosty luster, and the strike is full and complete. The coin is toned with fiery flecks of gold and reddish toning, mostly around the edge of the obverse. On the reverse, the toning is very light and iridescent in quality. Any advanced collector would be proud to own such a coin, and you can know that this is certainly one of the very finest in existence. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,910

Lot 1931		BEAUTIFULLY TONED GRANT WITH STAR. PCGS graded MS-65 Premium quality. One of the nicest Grant with star half dollars that we have seen. This coin was purchased in the early 1940s and put away by a collector. It obviously hasn't been handled as the surfaces are pristine. And the color is outstanding, lightly toned with rose hues around the lower periphery and the reverse, a slightly darker rose color. Examination will note how clean the surfaces are, and we can only wonder if this coin might soon be in a higher grade holder. Look for yourself and decide, for a fresh, unmolested coin like this is a rare thing these days. A coin that a specialist will long cherish after the premium is paid. Estimated Value $5,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900
Lot 1932		1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Satiny luster over light yellow color on the obverse, a bit brighter on the reverse. Typical color for the issue, most of which languished in Hawaiian vaults for years, where humidity toned them. One faint scratch is noted up from the warriors hand on the reverse. One of the rarest commemorative halves and worthy of a top end gem collection. Only 233 so graded by PCGS, with just 29 graded higher by that service. An important offering, as such. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,715
Lot 1933		1918 Illinois Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. One of the finest graded by NGC, with just 20 graded this high by that service and 2 graded higher. Deep blue toning on the obverse, with an off-center spot of russet tones centered on Lincoln's ear. The reverse toning is more centered, and we would guess that this coin stayed in a coin holder for many years to develop the deep colors seen here. Well struck and free of all but infinitesimal marks. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,645
Lot 1934		1946 Iowa Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-68. Untoned and very frosty. One of just 36 graded this high by PCGS, with none graded higher. If you demand the finest available, then here it is in all its stark white glory. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details	Realized $719
Lot 1935		1936 Lynchburg Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. Blazing luster surrounded by radiant peripheral colors. One of the very best graded, with just 34 graded this high and none graded higher.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,185
Lot 1936		1920 Maine Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. MINT ERROR - Rotated Reverse. A most unusual mint error with the reverse rotated approximately 30%. This is designated on the NGC holder. A satiny white gem specimen. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details	Realized $575
Lot 1937		1934 Maryland Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Blazing white luster over untoned surfaces. This one must have been carefully dipped at some point, as it remains virtually untoned today (highly unnatural for silver to remain so over many years). Excellent surfaces, even under the scrutiny of a magnifier. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,553
Lot 1938		1921 MISSOURI, 2 X 4, PCGS GRADED MINT STATE-66. PCGS graded MS-66. One of the finest to survive of this rare issue, PCGS for all their years of grading has only awarded 9 examples of this commemorative this high, with none graded higher. Therefore, this is probably one of the finest known! A Missouri snowstorm of luster greets the eye as the coin is examined under a light, the periphery is darkly toned with deep gold and green. Fully struck and superb in every regard, making this appeal to virtually any collector. Only 5,000 were struck, and as this is one of the "early" commemoratives struck, most were not sold to collectors, and hence not carefully preserved. An opportunity that cannot be overstated. Estimated Value $6,500 - 8,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $11,500

Lot 1941		1926 Oregon Trail Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. This one is graced with a dollop of deep reddish color on the upper obverse and lower reverse. The luster is satiny, and the coin is very well struck. One can find so signs of contact with other coins, and this is certainly one of the very best to survive of the date. In fact, PCGS has only graded 12 coins this high, with none graded higher! If you want one of the absolute best to survive, then here is your coin. Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,070

As to the PCGS Population Report we see that 10 have been so graded, with a single coin graded higher. We doubt that any could possess the alluring color scheme offered here.
