Lot Description

Condition Rarity 1917-D Half Dollar Reverse Mintmark Style 1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Reverse Mintmark. MS-65 (PCGS). A fully struck, highly lustrous example with iridescent pale gold toning to smooth-looking surfaces. In 1917 the mintmarks on half dollars were found on both the obverse and the reverse, though beginning in 1918 they were placed on the reverse only, remaining there through the first year of the Kennedy half dollar series. Though the 1917-D half dollar with reverse mintmark is somewhat more available in circulated grades than its obverse mintmark counterpart, in Mint State grades the reverse mintmark style is considerably scarcer and more desirable, especially in MS-65, as here. Those seeking a beautiful high grade example of this issue need look no further than this impressive offering. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part III.
