Lot 2298		1918-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Here is toned example of this scarce date. The toning ranges from a satiny silvery gray on well over 90 percent of the coin, and then near all the devices and in the nooks and crannies there is very dark gold toning which enhances the devices, and makes the coin look somewhat medallic. A beautiful example of this early mintmarked date. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438

Lot 2325		Withdrawn	Unsold
Lot 2326		1957 Franklin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bell Lines.

Sharply struck by the dies, and the surfaces are very clean. One of the more available dates in this grade, but still just 211 graded this high, with 6 higher. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details	Realized $86
Lot 2327		1957 Franklin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bell Lines. About as nice as this date comes, we note that PCGS has graded 248 as such, with just 7 graded higher. Toned with lovely gold and amber hues, likely from a mint set over strong mint luster. The surfaces are truly exceptional for a Franklin Half dollar. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details	Realized $86
Lot 2328		1957 Franklin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bell Lines. Bright luster under mint set toning, we note that PCGS has graded 248 as such, with just 7 graded higher. Outstanding quality throughout. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details	Realized $86

Lot 2330		1957-D Franklin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bell Lines. This coin is particularly nice for the grade, with gold and red around the periphery, and truly superb fields. As a date, the 1957-D is more difficult to find in grades of MS-66 or higher than one would expect. Estimated Value $60 - 80. View details	Realized $35
Lot 2331		1957-D Franklin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bell Lines. Evenly matched colors on the obverse and reverse, and taken from an original mint set many years ago. Boldly struck and very clean for the grade. Estimated Value $60 - 80. View details	Realized $35
Lot 2332		1958 Franklin Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bell Lines. Silvery white luster and boldly struck throughout. The fields and devices are very clean, and only a couple of minor ticks can be found with a glass, which is quite unusual for these large half dollars. Possibly from a mint set, as few regular issue coins would survive this nice. PCGS has graded 213 this high, with just 7 higher! A jewel for an advanced collection. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details	Realized $98

Lot 2336		Withdrawn	Unsold
Lot 2337		1962 Franklin Half Dollar. ICG graded MS-66. A significant coin in this grade, this particular one is enhanced by glowing gold and green toning on both sides, likely from an original mint set as it shows the crackle finish which is common to toned coins out of mint sets of the period. Examination will locate a few scattered ticks from handling, mostly on the devices, and collectively they don't distract measurably. As to the strike, the bell lines show minor weakness at the centers, as do most of this date. A rare coin in this grade, and worth a look from the specialists in the Franklin Half dollar field. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $138
Lot 2338		A complete BU Franklin half dollar set, 1948-1963-D. Mounted in a blue Whitman coin album with slides, a few coins are starting to tone, others show hairlines. Lot of 35 coins. Estimated Value $250 - 300. View details	Realized $288

Lot 2340		1964. NGC graded MS-66. Amazing colors on this one, the obverse has vibrant green and rose hues in the fields with darkish gold elsewhere, the reverse is a mottled gold color around the eagle, which is silvery bright. While the colors are very alluring, the grade is what makes this quite special, as few are seen with such pristine surfaces. In fact, NGC has only graded 42 this high, with 25 higher, all MS-67 above. A perfect coin for the specialist or for the type collector. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $63
Lot 2341		19? Kennedy Half dollar, triple clip, partial collar mint error. ANACS graded MS-63. This is a rather spectacular error, the largest clip goes through the 9 of the date and extends nearly to the Y of LIBERTY, and almost to the base of the bust of Kennedy. Clean surfaces for the grade, and very unusual. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $196
Lot 2342		A large lot of silver half dollars. This lot includes the following: 64 Walking Liberty half dollars, 55 Franklin half dollars and 82 1964 Kennedy half dollars, grades from AG to BU. Face value on this lot is $100.50 in silver. Estimated Value $300 - 350. View details	Realized $322
