1916-S Half Dollar, Frosty MS66+
Only One Coin Finer at PCGS
Ex: Bob R. Simpson

1916-S 50C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The first-year 1916-S has more than just status behind it. It enjoys a tantalizingly low mintage of 508,000 coins and stands as one of only four issues in the entire Walking Liberty half dollar series with the curious obverse mintmark placement. This particular example is one of the finest at PCGS, being the only Plus-graded Premium Gem at that service behind a single MS67. Brightly frosted surfaces are almost entirely brilliant. Just a hint of pale golden color is noted, attesting to the coin's originality. Well-struck and virtually pristine. Population: 18 in 66 (1 in 66+), 1 finer (11/22).
