Lot 559 - 1935/34 -P,P,D Boone Half Dollar Set PCGS/NGC Mix
1935/34 -P,P,D Boone Half Dollar Set. A nice gemmy set of these rare Boones, this is the lowest mintage regular-issue Commemorative half dollar set in the entire series (we relegate the rare Proofs of some issues to a special-interest category). Original patina over exceptionally fresh surfaces, the mint, having come off of a large production in 1934, and a largish 1935 P-mint issue, struck only 2,000 of the 1935 P-D-S Boone sets with a Small 1934 in the reverse field. This coin type was minted for five years, from 1934 to 1938. It commemorates the 200th anniversary of the famous frontiersman birth in 1734. The change of date to 1935 for the second year's coinage brought about the addition of the commemorative date 1934, above the words PIONEER YEAR. Coinage covered several years similar to the schedule for the Texas issues. The obverse bears a portrait of Daniel Boone. The reverse shows Boone with Chief Black Fish. Lot of 3 coins. (#9265)
