Lot Description

This fully original, softly frosted example exhibits speckled golden-russet peripheral toning. Boldly to sharply struck in most areas with superior surface preservation for this issue. The 1917-D Obverse Mintmark has the lowest mintage figure of any of the mintmarked varieties of the date. It is scarce in lower Mint State grades and rare in Gem and above. The present piece represents a significant find for the advanced Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiast.
