Lot Description

1935-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (NGC). CAC. OH. This handsome example offers mottled golden-tan and reddish-russet patina and superior technical quality. The strike is above average for this challenging issue, with most devices sharply defined and the central high points displaying emerging to bold detail. Smooth and satiny in texture, the surfaces are worthy of the premium Gem grade. 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. NGC Census: 44; 6 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 6597. NGC ID: 24RL. Click here for certification details from NGC.
