Lot Description

1918 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Virtually brilliant surfaces reveal only the faintest traces of iridescent champagne-gold as the coin rotates under a light. Lustrous with an impressively sharp strike overall. The 1918 has a mintage of 6,634,000 pieces, a generous total for a pre-1934 Walking Liberty half dollar, and is among the more readily available early date issues in this series, but only in circulated grades. Mint State survivors are surprisingly difficult to find, and few are as nice as the coin offered here. Provenance: From the Roberta and William C. Willner Collection. PCGS# 6574. NGC ID: 24PV.
