Lot Description

Gem 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Impressive Condition Rarity 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). This beautiful upper end Gem exhibits delicate champagne-gold iridescence to full, billowy mint luster. Frosty in texture with a sharp to full strike, expertly preserved surfaces are also of note for this impressive condition rarity. Saved in significant quantities as a first year issue, the 1916 is more plentiful in Mint State than a limited mintage of 608,000 pieces might imply. Demand for this popular date remains strong, however, with the result that high grade examples in MS-64 and MS-65 are scarce from a market availability standpoint. In MS-66/66+ the 1916 is very scarce in an absolute sense, and with the quality and eye appeal it possesses, the present example is sure to sell for a strong premium. PCGS Population: 11; 6 finer (all MS-67). PCGS# 6566. NGC ID: 24PL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
