Lot 757
1919-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. A foremost coin that boasts a strong strike on Liberty and flashy white luster throughout. Long known as one of the key dates to the series, the 1919-S is rarely found with a sharp strike, and is a true rarity in gem condition. To locate a gem that is well struck is something extraordinary. Further, this is the plate coin from Anthony Swiatek's Walking Liberty book for the date. Frosty luster in the fields and toned with just a hint of gold around the periphery. One tiny scrape is noted above the Sun in the field, but there are no other handling marks worthy of note.
As to the rarity, NGC has graded 13 this high, with a scant 4 graded higher. 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 most others, even if they are the same grade. Quality such as this is never cheap, so calculate your bid carefully. Currently in NGC holder #337709-003.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
