Lot 1190		1893 Isabella Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63 Premium Quality. Here is a coin that boasts ample mint frost and luster, and exceptional surfaces for the moderate grade assigned. Mostly white in color, we note peripheral gold toning on the upper obverse and lower reverse. This coin is probably undergraded, so prospective buyers should look it over carefully to make up their own minds as to its value. Estimated Value $450 - 500.

Lot 1191		1893 Isabella Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Mottled gold and gray toning throughout. A highly appealing example for the grade, with a good strike and clean surfaces despite the moderate grade. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details	Realized $489
Lot 1192		1900 Lafayette Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Hazy luster that is just starting to tone on both sides. Nicely struck, with some details on the boot, and sharp elsewhere. Nearly a gem, with few bagmarks or signs of handling found even with a glass. This early commemorative is often found with numerous bagmarks and most were mishandled by the early collecting public, not so here, the surfaces remain quite fresh despite a century since its issue. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,760
Lot 1193		1900 Lafayette Dollar. AU-58. Nice luster and clean surfaces on both sides, with light toning starting to form around the edges. Typical strike, with the heavy die polish lines present in the fields which are usually seen. Estimated Value $250 - 300. View details	Realized $368
Lot 1194		1921 Alabama Half Dollar, with 2 x 2. NGC graded MS-65. Sharply struck and lightly toned on each side. This one is in an old NGC holder, with the green insert. Examination notes clean surfaces and few signs of contact. Scarce this nice. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $863
Lot 1195		1921 Alabama Half Dollar, no 2 x 2. NGC graded MS-65. Bright and untoned, with strong luster in the fields and clean surfaces. One of the scarcer commemoratives to find in gem condition. NGC has graded 113 this high with just 12 graded higher, not many gems to go around. This one has an average strike, but is quite well preserved. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400.

Lot 1196		1936 Albany Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Cloudy gray toning on both sides and very nice. Excellent surfaces that show few handling marks. A high end gem! Don't miss it. Estimated Value $325 - 375. View details	Realized $322

Lot 1198		1936 Albany Half Dollar. The coin itself grades Mint State 65, while the paper holder grades Very Fine. On the front of the paper holder someone has written "10/15/37 $2.00 each" in pretty purple ink. Inside the holder there is room for 5 coins, with the curious paper tabs which held them in place, and these sames tabs are the things that produced the unusual "tab" toning seen on several commemoratives (many in this sale in fact). The sulfer content in the paper is the active chemical which makes coins tone. This particular coin boasts golden toning on the reverse, and streaky gold on the obverse. This lot contains 1 coin and 1 holder. Estimated Value $250-UP. View details	Realized $299
Lot 1199		1937 Antietam Half Dollar. MS-63. A couple of minor ticks on the reverse, but good luster and light gold toning. Estimated Value $300 - 330. View details	Realized $414

The holder appears to have been used for just one single coin, although it could hold up to five coins. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details	Realized $86

Lot 1207		1938 Arkansas Half Dollar. The three coins grade Mint State-65 each and the box grades Fine. An unusual find, most of these boxes were discarded years ago and are seldom available, the box is covered in a thin paper which has the appearance of oak, which shows some wear on the corners. The paper hinge is worn but still functions. Obviously, this box is fragile, which no doubt accounts for how few of them were saved! Inside the box is a dark blue felt holder with insets for the 3 coins. The coins themselves are all toned and appear to have never been dipped. Lot of 3 coins and 1 box. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details	Realized $1,725

Lot 1219		1936 Bridgeport Half Dollar. Wow, here is a rare pair, a 1936 Bridgeport NCI graded MS65/65 and a 1922 Grant NCI graded MS65/65. We rarely see these NCI holders anymore, both coins show faint toning and should be inspected to determine today's current grade. I expect ole' P.T.
