1921 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
Visually engaging, mottled reddish-copper and olive-bronze patina nestles in the more protected areas of this otherwise antique silver-gray example. Well struck overall, most features are sharp. Softly frosted luster is full and free of troublesome blemishes. This prized rarity has always been in high demand, as the low mintage of 246,000 pieces pointed early attention to these, but not until most had already entered circulation. 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 as World War I had concluded a few years prior. Of those relatively few Mint State 1921 half dollars saved, not many retain the Choice or Gem level surfaces desired by many collectors. This is an upper end MS-64+ of this key date issue that is destined for a high end cabinet or Registry Set.
