Lot 2614
1919 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. An outstanding well toned gem. This is a original Gem whose richly frosted surfaces are free of any distracting bagmarks. Both sides are overlaid in toning. The strike is bold, if not sharp throughout, and the eye appeal is noteworthy. The Philadelphia Mint's production of half dollars fell to 962,000 coins in 1919. While the most available of the three 1919-dated issues in Gem quality, the this is definitely a rare and admired coin. Acquiring this handsome coin might displace a lower quality specimen in ones set. But if human nature is any guide, the successful bidder will bear the separation with much fortitude. Only 962,000 coins minted. Pop 51; 22 finer. (PCGS # 6577) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
