1916-D. PCGS graded MS-66. PQ. Lovely deep blue and gold toning on both sides, likely from long storage in a Kraft or similar envelope for decades. The surfaces are bathed in rich mint luster, subdued only by the gentle toning of the last 105 years. First year of issue, and a delightful example from the Denver Mint. Pop 76; 8 finer, 3 in 66+, 5 in 67. (PCGS # 6567) Estimated Value $2,500 - UP

Lot 836
1921-D. PCGS graded MS-64+. CAC. PQ. This is the key date to the Walking Liberty half dollar series with a modest mintage of 208,000 pieces in all. From this challenging start, most entered circulation and stayed there long enough to be well into low grades, if they survived the melting pots at all. Here is one of the precious few, and we do mean that--that survived in near gem condition! The obverse and reverse are bathed in creamy white luster, with a better than average strike too, right down to Liberty's thumb that caressess her bundle of oak and laurel branches. The wide open fields are mint fresh and free of all but minute signs of contact, quite an event for this series.

The mintage plunged for many coins in 1921, as the American economy suffered from a short, swift downtrend as the production of war goods (1914-1918) came to an end, soldiers and supporting staff returned home from the war, and production had to shift from war planes, tanks and guns back to peace time production of new fangled cars and tractors for the fields. As the economy shrank and shifted, demand for coinage fell, particularly in 1921 and into 1922. Soon the economy got back on its feet, and the roaring 20s was in full swing a short time after this 1921-D half dollar was struck and carefully preserved to this day. Mostly untoned and frosty. Popular key date. Pop 13; 42 finer, 35 in 65, 4 in 65+, 3 in 66. (PCGS # 6584) Estimated Value $18,000 - UP

Lot 837
1921-S. NGC graded MS-65. Here is a premier condition rarity of the Walking Liberty half dollar series, the 1921-S in Gem mint state. After all the years of certified grading (35 years now!) to date NGC records only 23 grading events of a 1921-S grading MS-65 or finer (only 2 thus!). Duplication within those meager numbers is likely. What we have here is a coin of desitiny, a prize worthy of the great hunt--sought after by so many but attained by so few. This condition rarity will always be representative of the highest and best of this majestic series.

For the particulars, this is a virtually white coin, with glittering and resplendent luster, and just a hint of light tone on both sides. The strike is sharper than often seen, with Liberty's thumb well outlined and clear to the unaided eye. Handling marks are diminutive, of course none are worthy of note, as expected for the gem level grade--particularly on this key condition rarity. As such, this is one of the finest certified, and most sought after issues of this glorious series. Pop 21; 2 finer in 66. Estimated Value $70,000 - UP

1933-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck and some light toning and mostly bright silver and lustrous. The surfaces are excellent with nary a mark to be found when closely examined. This is one of the only regular issue coins struck in San Francisco in 1933. Needless to say the San Francisco Mint wasn't paying out any overtime to employees in 1933. A tough issue to find this well preserved (PCGS # 6591) Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200
