Description

Walking Liberty Half Dollar
1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS).
A premium quality Brilliant Uncirculated example of this fabled key date issue in the early Walking Liberty half dollar series. Lustrous, frosty surfaces are uncommonly smooth in hand for the assigned grade. The strike is a bit soft to isolated high points, not all that uncommon for the issue, while elsewhere we note sharp to full definition. A delicate overlay of iridescent champagne-gold toning further enhances the appeal of this superior-quality coin at the PCGS MS-62 grade level. A very elusive and desirable issue in Mint State, of which only 275 to 375 pieces are believed extant. A find for the advanced collector, and worthy of the strongest bids.
PCGS# 6584. NGC ID: 24R7.
From the Naples Bay Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of October 1970, lot 542; our (Stack's) sale of the George F. Scanlon Collection, October 1973, lot 1669. Lot tags included.
Estimate: $8000
