Lot Description

1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS). Light pearl-gray iridescence greets the viewer from both sides, as does full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. Smoother than expected for the assigned grade, although the strike is typical of the 1919-S with softness to the focal features. A lower mintage (1,552,000 pieces) issue that saw extensive commercial use, even marginal Uncirculated coins are elusive in today's market. This more affordable BU example represents a significant find for the Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiast working with a more limited numismatic budget. PCGS# 6579. NGC ID: 24R2.
