Liberty Walking and Later Half Dollars

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 490		1916 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-60. Sharply struck with an almost full hand, attractive silvery surfaces, super-clean rims, and nearly full mint frost. For a 60, this is some coin! View details	Realized $368
Lot 491		1916-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A sparkling frosty white example. View details	Realized $518
Lot 492		1916-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-64. An exquisitely toned, Choice Uncirculated example of the first year of issue for the Walking Liberty series. Denver Mint, too. Slightly soft strike, as usual. Under magnification, a few abrasions show, and a fine scratch on the flower stems in Liberty's left arm, but these are not enough to detract significantly from the desirability of this piece. The patriotic sentiments of the day remain for us now, almost a century after this coin came out of the First World War, in the emblems and cared-for quality of this lovely half dollar. View details	Realized $506
Lot 493		1917 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-64. Choice BU with hardly a mark but little fritzies on Liberty's leg. Original silvery luster. View details	Realized $144
Lot 494		1917-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. Mint mark on obverse. EF-40. Lovely gray-brown toning on both sides. Plucked from circulation long ago and well preserved. View details	Realized $127
Lot 495		1918-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded AU-55. Choice surfaces for the grade which show few marks, even under the scrutiny of a glass. Satiny luster and well struck on Liberty, although her thumb is a bit weak. Scarce in this grade and perfect for the date collector. View details	Realized $437
Lot 496		1920 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-60. The obverse shows lots of hairlining, but otherwise this is a nicely balanced coin with excellent luster and a fairly sharp strike. Better date. On close inspection, the surfaces are really immaculate aside from the lines--no marks worth noting and a pleasing silvery color. View details	Realized $201
Lot 497		1920 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-60. Pleasing silvery color, very lustrous and pleasant, despite two sizable marks on the obverse, one right in the middle of Liberty's leg, the other on her breast. Quite well struck and scarce in Mint State. View details	Realized $230
Lot 498		1921-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A really handsome example of this key date from Denver. In fact, it's so nice that, if it showed 1941 at the date, it would probably be in an MS-65 slab. But it's a '21, so they're being tough. A few minor abrasions, nothing heavy. Well struck with the hand showing almost full detail. Pale silvery color. Luster soft, as always on these. Real light iridescent hues, indicating a coin of considerable originality. All in all, if you don't require the screaming finest known, but are a true collector who appreciates rarity in a very choice coin, this is about all you could ask for. View details	Realized $7,475
Lot 499		1921-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-63. One of the keys to this series, always popular because of the emblematic design on each side. This is a nice coin, in fact it looks almost like a Gem at first glance, but if you hold the obverse sideways you will discover some very fine wiping lines across its center. These are nearly invisible if viewing the coin in the normal perspective. The only marks are some small abrasions, including a few on Liberty's leg. The luster is booming, the color a delightful silvery white, the rims are high and rounded and without blemish, and the strike is sharp enough that about 3/4 of Liberty's hand is detailed. This pleasing rarity should fit well into somebody's prized collection. View details	Realized $2,530
Lot 500		Choice BU 1921-S Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. A series of shallow album slide-lines down Liberty's leg is really all that keeps this beautiful example of the key date in the Walking Liberty series out of the 64 category. Only a few light bagmarks may be seen in the eagle's feathers, basically hidden from immediate view. The hand is about half-way struck up. The surfaces exhibit a handsome, light silvery brilliance with a hint of golden hues. A choice and very desirable example of this rarity! View details	Realized $13,225
Lot 501		1928-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-60. Despite our number grade and a mushy strike down the centers of the coin, this is exceptionally attractive because of its booming luster and just gorgeous golden blue iridescence. Fresh as can be! View details	Realized $1,323
Lot 502		1929-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. AU-58. Light fritzies all over but nice luster and some pale iridescent toning on this scarce issue. View details	Realized $173
Lot 503		1933-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. AU-50. Several small scratches but this is still a lovely example, especially for an AU, with a moderately strong strike. View details	Realized $276
Lot 504		1934 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-64. Magnification reveals some very faint lines, but this is boldly struck and handsome. View details	Realized $46

Lot 511		1937 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67. A minute carbon fleck in the middle of Liberty's left leg is the sole "fault" we can locate, and man, is that ever quibbling, for this is a beautiful Proof. The surfaces are bright and silvery, with a splendid band of bright orange gold in the obverse exergue on the date, and a splash of the same vibrant iridescence at the top of the reverse. You want pretty? You want Superb? You got it! View details	Realized $3,680

Lot 513		1938-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-63.
