1921 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.

This wonderfully original near-Gem sports mottled toning in rich reddish-russet and antique copper iridescence. The surfaces exhibit an even overlay of underlying antique silver that blends with full, satiny mint luster. Well struck with most design elements sharply rendered. The 1921 has almost always enjoyed strong numismatic demand, but not until most had already entered circulation. Commercial demand for new half dollars was low that year as the world economy adjusted sharply, reflecting the changes from war driven production to peacetime activities. The 1921 has a mintage of 246,000 pieces and perhaps just 750 remain at all levels of Mint State preservation. With quality conscious collectors ever more the standard, market pressure is evident at the Gem and higher grades making this PCGS/CAC MS-64+ example an attractive option.
