Lot Description

Mint State 1921-S Walking Liberty Half 1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS). Brilliant and virtually untoned, with just a faint golden shimmer visible beneath direct lighting. The luster is uniform and nicely composed, enhanced by die polishing throughout the obverse fields. Attractive and absolutely choice for the assigned grade. Although produced in greater numbers than both the 1921 and 1921-D, the 1921-S is the leading Walking Liberty half dollar rarity in Mint State. Of the 548,000 coins struck, perhaps just 200 remain across all Uncirculated grades. Specialist Jeff Ambio ranks the 1921-S as the second rarest issue of its type at and above the MS-65 grade level, though demand remains overwhelming at all Mint State grades. PCGS# 6585.
