Description du lot

1937 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Proof-68 (NGC). The Renaissance Era Label. This enchanting specimen exhibits delicate iridescent silver-blue overtones to virtually pristine surfaces. Blushes of warmer reddish-copper toning are evident particularly on the obverse. Overall fully struck with a universally mirrored 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. NGC Census: 36; 4 finer (Proof-68+ finest). PCGS# 6637. NGC ID: 27V5.
