1935/34-D Boone Bicentennial. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.，This smooth and satiny Gem displays very light silver and gold iridescence. The addition of the small date 1934 in the right reverse field beginning in 1935 created two varieties of each of the three Boone Bicentennial commemorative issues of that year. The small date signifies the bicentennial of Daniel Boones birth in 1734, which is the occasion that this half dollar type commemorates. The reverse design in its entirety shows Boone and Chief Black Fish of the Shawnee discussing the treaty that ended nine day siege of Fort Boonesborough in 1778, a significant event in the Western theater of the American Revolutionary War.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired by gift from our consignors mother in the late 1930s.，
