1916-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. MS-64. An exquisitely toned, Choice Uncirculated example of the first year of issue for the Walking Liberty series. Denver Mint, too. Slightly soft strike, as usual. Under magnification, a few abrasions show, and a fine scratch on the flower stems in Liberty's left arm, but these are not enough to detract significantly from the desirability of this piece. The patriotic sentiments of the day remain for us now, almost a century after this coin came out of the First World War, in the emblems and cared-for quality of this lovely half dollar.
