Description du lot

This is a significant coin in a 1928-S half dollar, Uncirculated examples of which are scarce in an absolute sense and typically confined to the lowest grades due to poor striking detail and/or noticeably abraded surfaces. Both sides of this solidly graded Gem are silky smooth in appearance with a full endowment of billowy mint frost. Otherwise brilliant, close inspection reveals a light dusting of antique silver and gold iridescence. A bit lightly struck at Liberty's head and in the obverse center, typical of the issue, but the detail is sharp otherwise and particularly impressive at central reverse. Alone among 1928-dated issues in the Walking Liberty half dollar series, the 1928-S is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades and more challenging to collect than the 1927-S. This piece offers particularly desirable Gem quality as certified by PCGS.
