Description

1917-S Walking Liberty Half, MS65
Scarce Obverse Mintmark Example

1917-S 50C Obverse MS65 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Dakota-Duckor. Mint records show just 952,000 1917-S half dollars were struck with the obverse mintmark, followed by more than five times that quantity with the reverse mintmark. Among early-date Walkers, the 1917-S Obverse ranks as one of key issues both by the number of grading events and certainly by its strong demand.

This is a frosty example with pale gold toning across both sides and uninhibited mint luster. Hints of rose color appear over the high points and along the obverse margin. Only tiny marks are seen even with a glass -- in hand, the surfaces appear impeccable. PCGS reports just four coins in finer grades. CAC: 32% of submissions for this issue/grade passed. 8 in 65, 1 finer (11/17).
