Description du lot

This is a fantastic and wholly original Superb Gem with intense satin to softly frosted luster on both sides. The surfaces are beautiful and pearlescent with lovely pastel iridescence in shades of powder blue, champagne-pink, lilac-rose and reddish-apricot. Boldly struck with remarkably smooth surfaces.<p><p>One of the more challenging late date Walking Liberty half dollars to locate in Mint State, the 1943-S is the fourth rarest issue in the "short set" after the 1942-D, 1942-S and 1943-D. Just 11.3 million were struck and the vast majority of survivors are in grades of MS-65 or lower. Production quality is also problematic for this issue, with most coins showing soft strikes and weak luster. The piece is absolutely superior in every respect, and approval by CAC confirms this fact. This is a significant offering for advanced Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiasts.<p><p><p><p><p><p>
