Description du lot

An unusual second opportunity in this sale for the advanced Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiast to acquire a top-flight example of the conditionally challenged 1942-S issue. This is a lovely Superb Gem Uncirculated coin, intensely lustrous with a bright, smooth, frosty appearance overall. Minor softness of strike at the obverse high points is typical of a San Francisco Mint half dollar from the World War II era, but most features on both sides are sharply to fully rendered. A thin veil of champagne-gold iridescence blankets the surfaces and further enhances this coin's desirability.
