1936-S 50C Boone MS68 PCGS. CAC (Heritage July 08 Baltimore). Much in the same manner as the Texas Centennial coins, the Boone commemoratives were first issued in 1934 to commemorate the frontiersman's 200th anniversary--but the series then continued for five years, necessitating the 1935-later addition of a small 1934 in the field, with PIONEER YEAR beneath. In MS68, this splendid piece is the finest of the issue certified at PCGS, with one at NGC (7/08). The surfaces are primarily silver-white, with frosty luster, but a lovely arc of iridescent teal, gold, and violet encircles a portion of each side. (Registry values: N2998)
