CAC. The 1936-S Boone Commemorative Half Dollar honors Daniel Boone’s 200th birthday and his role in opening the American frontier. NGC has graded 256 as MS66 with 94 finer. At CAC, there are 76 in MS66 with 46 finer.
Authorized in 1934, the series ran through 1938 with low mintages, the 1936-S totaling just 5,000 pieces. Struck at San Francisco, it features Boone on the obverse and a Boone and Chief Blackfish on the reverse, both sides of which were designed by Augustus Lukeman.
This specific example grades NGC MS-66 with CAC approval, placing it among the finest survivors. At this level, the coin typically displays booming satin luster, sharp design details, and only trivial contact marks visible under magnification.
Low original mintage combined with strong collector demand for high-grade commemoratives makes the 1936-S Boone in MS-66 a conditionally scarce classic. It remains a favorite for type collectors and those assembling early U.S. commemorative sets in gem condition.
