Description

1936 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Proof-67 (PCGS). CAC.

An exceptional Superb Gem Proof with eye appeal that matches the magnificent quality. Fully struck and sharply defined with a dusting of iridescent silver-blue and warm bronze patina. Substantial reflectivity gleams from the fields on each side, offering strong contrast with the satiny luster on the devices. Just 12 coins rank higher at PCGS and none are listed finer at CAC, making this an important opportunity for advanced collectors and Set Registry participants. First introduced for circulation in 1916, it would take a full two decades before any Proofs were struck for the Walking Liberty half dollar series. The 1936 Proof is not only the first Proof half dollar struck at the Mint since 1915, but also the key date for its series. The mintage of 3,901 pieces was significantly lower than that of the other six Proofs of the Walking Liberty half dollar type, and they are eagerly sought at all levels of preservation. This particular specimen ranks as one of the most desirable within this prized category.

PCGS# 6636. NGC ID: 27V4.

PCGS Population: 58; 12 finer (Proof-68+ finest). CAC Population: 30; none finer.

Estimate: $ 14000
