Description

1936 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Proof-67 (PCGS). CAC.
Charming brilliant-finish surfaces are lightly toned in an overlay of iridescent gold. Fully struck, expertly preserved, and destined for inclusion in a high quality collection. The first Proof half dollar struck in the United States Mint since 1915, and the first of the Walking Liberty design type, the popularity of the 1936 with today's collectors knows no bounds. This is also the key date issue among Proof Walkers, the mintage of 3,901 pieces lower than that of the other six issues in this brief Proof series. Eagerly sought at all levels of preservation, the 1936 is scarce at the Proof-67 level and a monumental condition rarity any finer. This is a fleeting opportunity that is sure to entice advanced collectors.
PCGS# 6636. NGC ID: 27V4.
PCGS Population: 63; 16 finer (Proof-68+ finest). CAC Population: 34; 0.
From the Abigail Collection, Part III.

Estimate: $8000
