1935 50C Boone MS66 认证号09622683, PCGS号9258

A popular classic commemorative, the Boone Bicentennial half was minted for five years, by all three operating mints. Originally called the Kentucky - Boone, it was commissioned to celebrate the 200th birthdy of this american icon. The premise was to raise money in an effort to fund the upkeep and completion of various public Daniel Boone memorials. Boones likeness, albeit an idealized portrait, remains unscathed on this specimen. A wonderful rainbow of pastel colors, accents this attractive type example.

There were 10,000 1935 Philadelphia Mint Boone half dollars minted, almost exactly the same number as the 1934 Philadelphia. The `1935 "small 34" variety also has a mintage of about 10,000 coins, the 1936 Philadelphia has a mintage of 12,012 coins and the 1937 Philadelphia has a mintage of 9,810. All other Boones have mintages of much less, from 2,003 to 5,006 per issue. The 1935 Philadelphia is obviously one of the more common Boones. Most examples grade MS63 to MS66 and it is one of the easiest Boones to find in superb condition. Most examples have frosty white luster and typically good eye appeal.
