Lot Description

Choice Mint State 1919-S Half Dollar A Leading Rarity in the Walking Liberty Series 1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-63 (NGC). This is an attractive Choice survivor of the key date 1919-S half dollar. Essentially brilliant surfaces are enhanced with deep golden toning at the peripheries and full, satin luster. Trailing only the 1921-S, the 1919-S is the second rarest Walking Liberty half dollar in terms of total number of Mint State survivors known. A lower mintage (1,552,000 pieces) issue that saw extensive commercial use, even low-end Uncirculated coins are elusive in today's market. This carefully preserved and visually appealing piece is sure to catch the eye of an astute Walking Liberty half dollar specialist. PCGS# 6579. NGC ID: 24R2. Provenance: From the Domino Collection II.
