Key 1921-S MS63 Walking Liberty Half Dollar

1921-S 50C MS63 PCGS. While both the 1921 and the 1921-D have lower mintages, the 1921-S has long been recognized as the most difficult of these three issues at the Mint State level and, in fact, is generally referred to (a few experts might disagree) as the key to the entire series of Walking Liberty Half Dollars in higher grades. This satiny, well preserved example is primarily brilliant save for a hint of golden color about the reverse periphery. The strike is nicely executed if one keeps in mind the normal areas of mushiness on Liberty's hand and the eagle's leg feathers. A terrific coin for the advanced collector of this popular series.
From the Richard Genaitis Collection.
