Lot Description

This enchanting specimen exhibits delicate iridescent silver overtones to virtually pristine surfaces. Overall fully struck with a universally semi-reflective finish from the dies. The second Proof installment in the Walking Liberty half dollar series, and also the second rarest after the 1936, the 1937 is a key date issue in this popular 20th century series. Most survivors from a mintage of 5,728 coins grade no finer than Proof-66, the issue scarce even at the Proof-67 level. In Proof-68, as here, the 1937 is an important condition rarity that is the province of the most advanced collectors.
