Lot Description

The Finest Known 1942 FS-801 Walking Liberty Half 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. FS-801. Doubled Die Reverse. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. The finest-graded example of this scarce doubled die variety at PCGS. In fact, there are but single examples representing MS-66, MS-66+ and MS-67 at PCGS! As one would expect, the surfaces are virtually mark-free to the unaided eye while magnification reveals only a couple of trivial marks. Fully brilliant silver with radiant mint luster on both sides and a sharp strike. There is little more that one could ask for in Gem Walker. Destined for the finest Registry Set of Walking Liberty half dollars. Provenance: The PCGS CoinFactsPlate Coin PCGS Population: 1; none finer. PCGS# 145159. NGC ID: 24S6.
