Description du lot

1929-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Kenneth Bressett Signature. MS-66+ (NGC). Frosty brilliant white surfaces are boldly to sharply struck over most design elements. Trailing only the 1933-S, the 1929-S is the second most available San Francisco Mint half dollar of the 1916 to 1933 era. As with its identically dated Denver Mint counterpart, the onset of the Great Depression kept many examples from being released until the mid 1930s, by which time the coins were desired by contemporary numismatists and speculators. However, few survivors are as carefully preserved and aesthetically pleasing as this premium quality Gem. NGC Census: 4; 4 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 6590. NGC ID: 24RD.
