1920-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. A gem example, brilliant and white, and quite difficult to obtain in such high grade. The standard Uncirculated 1920-S half dollar (a sometimes overlooked grade rarity among early Walking Liberty halves) is noticeably dull or rounded through the central details. This characteristic alone disqualifies many aspiring Gems. In fact, the typical Mint State in a grading holder is Mint State 63 or Mint State 64 at best. The attractive Gem MS65 example offered here not only improves greatly on the normally seen striking limitations, but its frosty sparkling surfaces glow with originality, as though it had been just taken from an original roll! In fact, only a few pinpoint marks differentiate this remarkable coin from any "as struck" status. We do note hesitate in declaring this '20-S Walker among the better known examples, with the grade census as follows: Pop 40; 9 in 66, 2 in 67.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
