Description

1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.
Here is a highly desirable Choice Mint State example of this key date half dollar issue. Both sides display abundant luster, the surfaces essentially brilliant but with subtle pale gold iridescence present to reward the persistent viewer. Typically soft through the centers, yet sharply struck elsewhere and smooth enough in hand to support an even higher grade. In Mint State this is the third rarest issue of its type, surpassed by only the 1921-S and 1919-S. However, it is a severe strike rarity, as above, with most Uncirculated examples flatly struck in the centers and limited to grades (well) below Gem. From a mintage of just 1,165,000 pieces, this is a significant piece that is sure to appeal to astute Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiasts.
PCGS# 6578. NGC ID: 24PZ.
CAC Population: 20; 1.

Estimate: $12000
