Lot 1740
1917-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. Mint mark on obverse. PCGS graded MS-64. Pop 95; 33 in 65; 2 in 66; 1 in 67. The 1917-S Obverse is the scarcest of the four mintmark variations for 1917, and it is also one of the most difficult early Walkers at this grade level. This is a toned yet lustrous coin with balanced light amber brown on both sides. Highly attractive for the grade, with better than average striking details on Liberty's head and a split-thumb hand (most desirable). The eagle's breast is sharply defined, but the left leg is characteristically weak. A very choice example of this date that is very difficult to find so well preserved (PCGS # 6572) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
