Description du lot

A glorious Superb Gem with superior technical quality accompanied by outstanding visual appeal. Smooth and virtually pristine, the surfaces are aglow with full mint luster. Sharply to fully struck throughout, the entire package is dressed in a thin coating of silver-gold patina.<p><p>When it comes to middle date (read: 1934 to 1940) issues in this series, only the 1940 has a more generous Mint State population than the 1939. At and above the MS-65 level the latter is actually the most readily obtainable middle date Walking Liberty half dollar. Such numismatic academics should not, however, mislead the reader into viewing the offered coin as "common," for that word has no place in the discussion of such as awesome condition rarity as this. A beautiful coin in all regards, our offering of this dazzling Superb Gem represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for advanced Walking Liberty half dollar collectors, especially those competing for top ranking on the PCGS Set Registry.<p><p><p>
