Lot 561 - 1936 Boone Half Dollar NGC MS65
1936 Boone Half Dollar. Elusive and quite costly as a Gem 68, this much more affordable (and still gem) 65 example is free of noticeable abrasions. The strike, while just as complete as on any other, is well above par for the detail seen under magnification on both sides.

"Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!"

So went the first stanza of the 1964 song by Twentieth Century Music Corp. Now, this coin isn't "tall as a mountain" but it still takes an "eye like an eagle" to find any hairlines or marks on it!
