1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS).

Boldly to sharply struck, this endearing near-Gem also sports full mint luster in a well frosted texture. Wisps of iridescent champagne-gold toning drift toward the borders and provide further visual appeal. Although the mintage for the 1916-S is only 100,000 coins fewer than that of the 1916 (508,000 vs. 608,000 pieces), this mintmarked issue is far more elusive in Mint State. Undoubtedly fewer San Francisco Mint coins were set aside at the time of issue by contemporary Americans looking for keepsakes of the newly introduced half dollar. This attractive piece will be just right for an above average collection.

PCGS# 6568. NGC ID: 24PN.

Estimate: $ 3000
