Lot Description

Exceptionally well preserved and scarce premium Gem quality for this desirable early Walking Liberty half dollar issue. With many examples kept from entering circulation due to the economic effects of the Great Depression, the 1933-S is more plentiful in Mint State than a relatively limited mintage of 1,786,000 pieces might imply. Few survivors grade finer than MS-65, however, confirming the scarcity of this lovely example. It is fully struck and brilliant apart for splashes of light toning on each side.<p>
