1917-D 50C Reverse MS (PCGS#6571)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Reverse Mintmark. MS-65+ (PCGS). Rich, mottled, multicolored patina provides a wonderfully original appearance for this handsome piece. Well struck with predominantly sharp detail, the surfaces are uncommonly well preserved for this conditionally challenging issue. In 1917 the mintmarks on half dollars were found on both the obverse and the reverse, though beginning in 1918 they were placed on the reverse only, remaining there through the Franklin half dollar series. Though the 1917-D half dollar with reverse mintmark is somewhat more available in circulated grades than its obverse mintmark counterpart, in Mint State grades the reverse mintmark style is considerably scarcer and more desirable, especially in MS-65, as here. Those seeking a beautiful high grade example need look no further. PCGS Population: 49; 7 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 6571. NGC ID: 24PS. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
