1934 Maryland Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Frosty white gem. Pop 318; 43 in 67 as best by PCGS. From one end to the other the intense silvery luster gyrates with almost atomic intensity.

Lot 2198
1921 Missouri Half Dollar, no 2 x 4. PCGS graded MS-63. A hint of light toning on the obverse (PCGS # 9330) .

Robert Aitken sculpted the Missouri Half Dollar. The obverse features a frontiersman; some have claimed it represents Daniel Boone, but Boone had died in 1820 at the ripe age of 86. The dates 1821-1921 refer to the centennial of Missouri's admission into the Union as the 24th state. A portion of the issue has a small "2x4" in the field in front of the bust. There are also 24 stars on the reverse, with obvious connotations. Walter Breen, in his encyclopedia on the series, described the reverse motif as follows: "A white frontiersman with rifle and powderhorn (apparently on the old theory that 'the only good Injun is a dead Injun') appears to be sending away the Indian, whose shield and peace pipe are mere impedimenta." Net mintage was: with 2x4, 5,000; plain, 15,400.
Estimated Value $575 - 625.

New Rochelle, New York was settled in 1688 by French Huguenots from La Rochelle, France.

The reverse has as its central theme an idealized fleur-de-lis which has been the symbol of France ever since 1180 AD Gertrude K. Lathrop designed the coin.
