Lot 1584
1917-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. Mint mark on reverse. PCGS graded MS-63. Frosty with a hint of light tone. Well struck and a choice coin. Demand for circulating coins from banks and businesses during the boom years of World War I (America was a supplier to the main warring powers of Europe) created a spike in mintage, 1916-18. However, the lack of demand from collectors, who were a barely perceptible group in those days, resulted in most 1917-S half dollars reaching circulation (PCGS # 6573) .
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.
