1936-PDS Daniel Boone Commemorative Half-Dollar 3-pc Set NGC MS65

Did You Know Daniel Boone Had His Own Silver Half Dollar?

Issued from 1934 to 1938, the Daniel Boone Commemorative Half Dollar is a stunning coin struck in gleaming highly pure 90% fine silver. One of America's most notable frontiersmen, "Dan'l" Boone killed bears, lived with and fought Indians, and battled the British during the Revolutionary War. But he's best known for blazing the famous Wilderness Road into Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap in 1775.

Daniel Boone, "Tough As A Mighty Oak Tree," 1936 Three-Mint Set!

These coins were released to raise money for the restoration of historic sites associated with Boone and early Kentucky. However, the legislation for this coin did not specify the date, mint, or sales price–which served this coin well during the commemorative coin mania of the next few years. And now you can get not one, but THREE of these fabulous commemoratives in this three-piece set that features coins from all three mints that struck this issue in 1936: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver ("D" mint mark) and San Francisco ("S" mint mark). Not only that, but each comes graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in beautiful Gem Uncirculated Mint State-65 (MS65) condition! The coins from the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints are blast white and the coin from the Denver Mint has some minor-yet attractive, rustic rim toning on the obverse.

The Immortal Popularity Of One Of America's First Frontier Heroes

When most people think of Daniel Boone they think of Fess Parker, who starred as the titular character in the television show that aired on NBC from 1964 to 1970 and lives on today in syndication. But America's fascination with Daniel Boone goes back even farther: Just a few years after the famed frontiersman's death, author James Fenimore Copper based Nathaniel Bumppo, his main character in Last of the Mohicans, on Boone. Here on these coins, the obverse features a portrait of Boone sculpted by Augustus Lukeman. The reverse features Boone holding a treaty and musket next to Chief Black Fish, who adopted Boone as a son when he was captured by the Shawnee tribe in 1778. Thanks to the lobbying efforts of C. Frank Dunn, secretary of the Boone Bicentennial Commission, new legislation was passed adding the commemorative date "1934" immediately above the words "PIONEER YEAR" on the reverse of the cons struck from 1935 to 1938.
