Lot 1743
1919-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck with light shades of golden toning around the edges. Nice eye appeal. Pop 36; 10 in 66; Finest by PCGS. A leading rarity in the Walking Liberty series, this is a 1919-S that boasts a strong strike on Liberty and frosty gem-level luster throughout. Long known as one of the key dates to the series, the 1919-S is rarely found with other than a very mushy strike, and is a true rarity in gem MS65 condition. To locate a gem that is well struck is something special. Further, this coin excites us with its smooth luster in the fields and toning that has natural shades on both sides. One tiny area of weak striking is noted along the eagle's leg, but there are no handling marks worthy of note.
If you want a well struck example, then be sure to examine this one closely because it has details you simply won't see on others, even if they are the same grade. Quality such as this is always appreciated, so compute your bid precisely (PCGS # 6579) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
