Description
1917 Walker, MS67
Thick Mint Luster and Lightly Toned
1917 50C MS67 NGC. In the context of early date Walking
Liberty half dollars, the 1917 is a common issue. The original
mintage of 12.3 million pieces is the highest total for any date in
the series before 1936, and its availability in Mint State makes
the coin a favorite candidate for a type collection. Surprisingly,
the issue's availability drops off sharply above the Gem level.
Examples at the MS66 level are scarce, and only six coins have been
certified in the Superb Gem grade by NGC and PCGS combined, with
none finer (3/10).The present coin is a spectacular specimen, with nearly perfect matte-like surfaces and thick, frosty mint luster. The pale brilliant and lilac centers are highlighted by a streak of golden-rose color along the right obverse. Overall eye appeal is awesome. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24PP, PCGS# 6569, Greysheet# 6699)
Weight: 12.50 grams
