Lot Description

Exceptional eye appeal on this truly stunning and scarce Walking Liberty half dollar. Blanketed in a warm silvery tone and enhanced by turquoise, lime-green, and magenta that are strongest around the peripheries. Strike quality is also noteworthy, the definition otherwise full with emerging to sharp detail over the high points. After only the 1934-S, the 1935-S is the rarest middle date (1934 to 1940) Walking Liberty half dollar. With most Mint State survivors confined to lower grades due to poor striking quality and/or noticeably abraded surfaces, this premium MS-66+ is sure to appeal to specialists in this popular 20th century series. This piece approaches the finest survivors of the issue, as PCGS reports only five certification events in higher grades.
