1927-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely blue and gold toning on the obv. The reverse is light golden toning. Only 2.3 million pieces were struck of the 1927-S half, making it one of the scarcer strike and condition rarities in the Walking Liberty set. For no good reason other than because it happened, most of the mintage entered the channels of commerce, as this issue is only really common in grades below the Extremely Fine level; virtually none showed up in rolls or collector hoards. This is a marvelous example of the date, one of the few Mint State 65 examples we have ever offered, plus it comes with just marvelous color! This issue is famous also for its fresh-faced luster, but again, this coin shows even prettier thickest mint frost imaginable, which is aided by its gem state of preservation. As one might infer from the grade, a coin uncommonly clean underneath all that beautiful toning! Pop 50; 6 in 66. (PCGS # 6587) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,500.
