Description du lot

One of the more challenging late date Walking Liberty half dollars to locate in Mint State, the 1943-S is the fourth rarest issue in the "short set" of 1941 to 1947 after the 1942-D, 1942-S and 1943-D. Just 13.4 million were struck and the vast majority of survivors are in grades of MS-65 or lower. Production quality is also problematic for this issue, with most coins showing soft strikes and weak luster. This piece is above average in every respect, as approval by CAC at the PCGS MS-66+ grade level confirms. A noteworthy offering for advanced Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiasts.
