Lot Description

Deeply toned. Nice original toning on both sides. Mintage of half dollars ran strong in 1917-18 during the War years (First World War), then lessened in 1919 after the war ended, before one final burst in 1920. Because half dollars were hard-working coins, few were saved at the time of issue, hence their scarcity in Mint condition. <BR>Estimated Value $550 - 600. <I><BR>The Cypress Estate.</I>
