Description du lot

An exceptional-quality survivor of the issue, this lovely upper end Gem boasts fulsome mint frost and uncommonly smooth surfaces even for the MS-65+ grade from PCGS. Both sides are richly original in preservation, as well, with gently mottled toning in iridescent champagne-pink and copper-russet that is boldest at the peripheries. Well struck in most areas, softness to the central high points is noted solely for accuracy, especially since it is a common attribute for this issue.<p>The 1927-S Walking Liberty half dollar is a conditionally challenged issue with a mintage of 2,392,000 pieces. Like the 1923-S and 1928-S, the 1927-S as an issue was heavily circulated and can be elusive even in the lowest Mint State grades. Gems are very scarce, the present example in PCGS MS-65+ a significant condition rarity and important find for the astute bidder.
