THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />

LOT 394<br />

50C 1935-S BOONE. PCGS MS67 CAC<br />

This is a beautifully toned SUPERB GEM Boone. Rings of rich<br />

violet, crimson, royal blue, and deep amber-gold ring around<br />

frosty silver central reverse devices, while the obverse has just a<br />

touch of iridescent silver and touches of gold at the rim. The eye<br />

appeal is superb, you will be hard pressed to find another with a<br />

look like this!<br />

PCGS 40, NGC 32, CAC 20. The last PCGS/CAC example<br />

realized $2,<strong>29</strong>1 in our May 2017 <strong>Regency</strong> <strong>Auction</strong>. This coin’s<br />

eye appeal is stronger and should realize a stronger price. The<br />

current PCGS value does not take into account this coin’s<br />

stunning looks!<br />

PCGS# 9260 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+<br />

LOT 395<br />

50C 1937 BOONE. PCGS MS67+ CAC<br />

Bested by only three coins, this SUPERB GEM ranks among<br />

the very FINEST known examples, and even a cursory look will<br />

prove that! The surfaces are gloriously smooth, and brilliantly<br />

lustrous. The superb luster glows in the fields under a dusting<br />

of icy blue, steely olive, and pale gold that is richer towards the<br />

rims. The devices are sharply struck and the reverse is especially<br />

crisp. The eye appeal is simply stunning, and cannot be beat!<br />

PCGS 136, NGC 55, CAC 54. PCGS has graded only 18 in<br />

MS67+ and the most recent CAC-approved example realized<br />

$3,120 in April 2018. Prior to that, the only ones to sell in auction<br />

were back in 2016. Only three examples, all MS68 are graded<br />

finer, and the most recent 68 sold for $9,106 in 2014. A real prize<br />

for any discerning commem collector demanding the best.<br />

PCGS# 9270 | ESTIMATE: $1,500+<br />

LOT 396<br />

50C 1937 BOONE. PCGS MS67+ CAC<br />

This glorious SUPERB GEM is tied for second finest graded at<br />

PCGS and it is truly a very high end example of the type.<br />

A screaming luster on the obverse beams from all throughout the<br />

fields, giving the portrait of Daniel Boone, with its bold frosted<br />

look, a halo of amber-gold and icy-silver blue. The reverse has a<br />

nice frosty, pearly silver look. This coin really is one or two tiny<br />

ticks away from an even higher grade.<br />

PCGS 137, NGC 56, CAC 54. There are 19 graded MS67+<br />

at PCGS and only three coins finer. The most recent example<br />

realized $3,120 in April 2018. If you could find a 68--and that is a<br />

big if--it would cost $10,000 or more!<br />

LOT 397<br />

50C 1937-S BOONE. PCGS MS67 CAC<br />

A very cool Boone half dollar, with a distinctive, semi-prooflike<br />

flash in the fields. Icy-lustrous fields show off a steely-blue and<br />

clear gold toning on both sides. Sharply struck up, this SUPERB<br />

GEM has a great look that will delight any serious collector.<br />

PCGS 45, NGC 26, CAC 18. EXTREMELY RARE any finer, with<br />

just eight such coins graded at PCGS. The last PCGS MS67 CAC<br />

to sell brought $1,440 in the 2018 FUN auction. This coin’s great<br />

look will make it bring around the current CU value of $1,500.<br />

PCGS# 9272 | ESTIMATE: $1,100+<br />

PCGS# 9270 | ESTIMATE: $2,200+<br />
