1921 Missouri. NGC MS-65. 1921 Missouri. NGC MS-65.
Lot Title: 1921 Missouri. NGC MS-65.
Description: This is a bright and flashy wonder coin. The surfaces are free of all but the most trivial of marks, none of which are worth individual mention. The color is white with a little golden brown along the rims. This coin is much more well struck than usual, with Boone's cap showing much more detail than is common. On the reverse, Boone's shoulder is complete and well formed, and the Indians necklaces are full and complete. With a mintage of 15,428 pieces, this should be more available in the high grades, but apparently few were stored properly, as this is one of the three most expensive Commemorative Halves in the MS-65 grade level. This is undoubtedly in the top third of those few coins able to attain the Gem status this beautiful piece claims.
Low Estimate: $4,200.00
High Estimate: $4,800.00

1921 Missouri. NGC MS-64.
Luster is unexpectedly vibrant for a Missouri, with extensive arms of pinwheeling action spiraling through the fields as the coin tilts to and fro, and unlike many pieces, only delicate toning layers...

1921 Missouri. NGC MS-65.
Sparkling fields display much nicer brilliance than normally seen for the type, touched by peach-gold on the rims, but closer to vanilla-white everywhere else. While generally well struck, the very...

Two 1921 Missouri, both AU.

1921 Missouri. PCGS MS-64 (green label).

Many collectors pursue white early commemorative coins, and the Missouri is one of the more difficult to locate without toning. A PCGS green-label holder holds this one in safety, and has probably...
188The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$2,000.00
1921 Missouri. NGC MS-65.
At first glance, this gem Missouri is quite similar in overall appearance to an MS-66 also found in today's sale. The overall silver brilliance is offset by hints of gold-tan tone lying atop the...

1921 Missouri. NGC MS-66.

1921 Missouri. MS-62.
Considerable luster endows this bright Missouri with much the appearance of a frosty UNC, and design elements are sharply defined. Confirming the powerful strike is a raised fin of metal around more...
434The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,325.00
1921 Missouri. PCGS MS-64.
Nearly preposterous in its depth, a very thick, rich original patina piles high upon this 1921 Missouri, which incidentally is mounted reverse-out in the PCGS rattler slab. The complex tone is...

1921 Missouri. PCGS MS-63.
Very bright central areas yield to peripheral album toning on the obverse and a touch of rim toning on the reverse, and this coin shines with praiseworthy mint luster. Weakness of strike has resulted...

1921 '2*4' Missouri commemorative half-dollar, NGC MS-65

1921 Missouri. NGC MS-63.

1144The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$330.00
1921 Missouri. AU-50.
This perennially popular issue has a glistening silver aspect that's enhanced with a delicate golden iridescence. A few light hairlines and trivial specks are ascribed for this well-defined example.

1921 Missouri. MS-63.
Light russet peripheral tones accentuate the gunmetal gray surfaces on this popular Commemorative. There are a few light lines on obverse in the fields, but they are barley noticeable.
1557The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$600.00
1921 Missouri. ICG MS-63.
Rose patina covers gunmetal gray surfaces on this well-struck and problem-free coin. The fields are very clean, and the devices are sharp. If this coin were a bit more flashy, it may grade higher.

1921 Missouri. AU-55.
This Commemorative is gun-metal gray in color with russet toning on the peripheries of both the obverse and reverse. It has never been played with or altered in any way. There is a bit of wear, but...
