Lot Description

Among the highest graded examples of the 1940 Walking Liberty half dollar, this remarkable Ultra Gem ranks particularly high on eye appeal and originality. Blushes of the faintest iridescent gold toning radiate out from the centers, although the in-hand appearance is largely that of a brilliant coin. Sharply struck devices show full definition throughout while the surfaces are pristine and free of marks and other grade-limiting blemishes. With just a single MS-68+ graded higher, this beauty is a prime candidate for a high end collection on the PCGS Set Registry and will see fierce bidding competition when it crosses the auction block.
