1921 Missouri Half Dollar, 2 x 4. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. CAC Approved. Nice light golden toning on both sides. A choice, lustrous example of this scarcer mintage date, mainly brilliant and frosted and only precisely graded; excellent silver color on this virtual Gem. Fully struck in all areas with pinpoint detailing on the pioneer’s coat and raccoon skin tail. Some minor flatness as struck, and seen on most survivors, at the central cap and on the shoulder. Small 2*4 in the left obverse field above "1821".
Robert Aitken sculpted the Missouri Half Dollar. The obverse features a frontiersman; some have claimed it represents Daniel Boone, but Boone had died in 1820 at the ripe age of 86. The dates 1821-1921 refer to the centennial of Missouri's admission into the Union as the 24th state. A portion of the issue has a small "2x4" in the field in front of the bust. There are also 24 stars on the reverse, with obvious connotations. Walter Breen, in his encyclopedia on the series, described the reverse motif as follows: "A white frontiersman with rifle and powder horn (apparently on the old theory that 'the only good Injun is a dead Injun') appears to be sending away the Indian, whose shield and peace pipe are mere impedimenta." Net mintage was: with the scarcer 2x4, 5,000; slightly more common plain, 15,400 (PCGS # 9331) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,050. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots

1923 Monroe Doctrine Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Frosty with a hint of light tone. Struck in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of President James Monroe's doctrine of "hands off" to any would-be imperialists attempting to horn in on America's presence in the Western Hemisphere. Charles Beach portrayed conjoined busts of Monroe and John Adams on the obverse, and an unusually rendered North and South American continent consisting of two contorted female figures. The net effect is quite original on an American coin, commemorative or otherwise. A total of 274,000 were delivered, to be sold for $1 each; a great many were put into circulation, however, or spent, which accounts for the numerous worn pieces. Pop 428; 92 finer at PCGS.

1936 Norfolk Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67 CAC Approved. A frosty white gem in an old green label holder. From the standpoint of obscure remembrances, the 1936 Norfolk half dollar takes the cake, or at least is a challenger, according to Q. David Bowers, a noted authority. "This so-called important occasion observed the 200th anniversary of the change of Norfolk from the township founded in 1682 to a borough in 1736. The obverse is graced with or cluttered with (take your choice) enough lettering to fit on two or three coins! The reverse is a bit complex as well and is highlighted by an illustration of the Royal Mace of Norfolk. If you ever wondered what this particular artifact looked like, just study this coin." Not very complimentary, but 1935-37 where years when Commemorative Coins experienced a wild speculative spree and just about every sponsor and his uncle was proposing a new one. The Congress called a halt to the insanity in 1938. No new authorizations for a commemorative coin were passed until after the second World War. Only 16,936 struck (PCGS # 9337) .

1936-D Cincinnati Music Center Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Lovely brilliant satiny lustrous surfaces. The Cincinnati half dollars appeared at the height of the great commemorative boom in 1936. While many sets were sold at $7.75 each, the issue price, long before the supply ran out, their promoter suddenly stated that all were gone. You can imagine what happened: the price jumped to $30, quickly to $40, then to $50 per set! Similar to another situation with Boone half dollars, the Cincinnati's promoter had a supply later, giving the risible excuse that some original purchasers of their sets had made them available. Only 5,005 struck. (PCGS # 9284) . Estimated Value $800 - 900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots

1900 Lafayette Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Pleasing natural toning with iridescence about the borders. A highly lustrous satiny gem with a nuance of various shades in the all-original toning on both sides. Struck from well-crafted dies that imported a deep, sharp texture to the imprint of President Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, especially at the centers. Remaining devices are bold as well. Legends crisp; rims free of impairment. A solid Gem Mint State 65 example for the connoisseur.
The Lafayette silver dollar was minted in one day, December 14, 1899, at the Philadelphia Mint, this being the 100th anniversary of the death of George Washington. When queried about pre-striking the coins, for it was not yet 1900, the date on the coin, the Mint took the position that the date did not represent the striking at all but, simply, observed the year that the Paris Exposition was held, this being noted on the reverse. By this logic the present coin is dateless. Such little nuances are interesting in the collecting of the series. The 1900 Lafayette dollar is very unusual, indeed unique among coinage of its era, because the dies were made by hand not from a plaster cast to which a galvano was molded. The motifs were impressed on the obverse and reverse, and then by use of hand punches the dates and numerals were added around the border! This was in the old-style process generally in use in the 1830s and before! It was long obsolete by 1899. The reason for doing this is not apparent today. It could point to simple expediency. A number of die pairs were needed, and quickly. The normal hubbing and master die process was bypassed. Accordingly, this is the only commemorative coin that can be collected today by die variety! Pop 281; 100 finer (PCGS # 9222) . Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots
