1935/34-D 50C Boone, MS

Description

1935/34-D 50C Boone Commemorative, MS67. This exceptional Boone Commemorative half dollar represents one of the most significant issues in the commemorative series. The 1935/34-D variety is particularly notable, representing coins struck at the Denver Mint during the second year of the Boone Sesquicentennial commemorative program (1934-1938). This piece exhibits the characteristic overdate that resulted from the reuse of dies from the previous year's coinage. The obverse features Daniel Boone in profile, while the reverse depicts a pioneer and Native American, commemorating the settlement of Kentucky and the westward expansion narrative of early American history. Graded MS67 by NGC (Certification #1748238006), this specimen displays exceptional eye appeal with lustrous surfaces and minimal contact marks. The technical quality at this grade level represents a premium example of the issue, with sharp strike details and attractive original patina that collectors actively seek. The 1935/34-D is a popular date within the Boone commemorative series, and examples in this condition represent meaningful collector value. Commemorative half dollars of this caliber continue to attract serious numismatists and represent an important segment of American coinage history.
