Lot Description

A bright and brilliant example with strong satin luster. Smartly impressed with a virtually pristine appearance, this is a superior 1939-D half dollar in all regards. The 1939-D is the most plentiful mintmarked Walking Liberty half dollar from the middle portion of this series (1934-1940), edging out the 1940-S in an absolute sense and the 1939-S in MS-65 and higher grades. Such a fact should not disparage the awesome condition rarity of the present Superb Gem, however, for this coin is head and shoulders above the vast majority of other survivors in today's market.
