Lot Description

Undeniably original, flecks of deep russet and charcoal pepper the outer regions of this satiny near Gem. An attractive and boldly struck example. 1917 was a particularly active year in the Walking Liberty series, as there are five varieties essential for a complete collection. The earliest 1917-S half dollars were made obverse mintmarks, but midway through the year the mintmark was transferred to the reverse. Both varieties are eagerly sought be specialists.
