Designed by famed sculptor Robert Aitken, this coin features Daniel Boone, 24 stars, and even a mysterious “2★4” marking.Why does it say “SEDALIA”? Why are some coins missing famous phrases like “In God We Trust”? And what makes this coin so rare today?Join us as we explore how this commemorative silver half dollar was minted, marketed, melted—and ultimately, became a prized piece for collectors. Learn how to spot the real thing, avoid counterfeits, and hear the untold story behind a coin that’s as much about American westward expansion as it is about numismatic rarity.
