1920-S Half Dollar, MS66
Underrated, Conditionally Scarce

1920-S 50C MS66 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The high-profile key-date issues of 1921 tend to overshadow other condition rarities in the Walking Liberty half dollar series, especially the 1920-S. In Gem and better condition, the 1920-S is every bit as scarce as the 1921, despite having more than 17 times the production total. This San Francisco issue circulated extensively and is mainly seen only in worn condition today. In Mint State, it is a challenging acquisition at all grade levels.

This Premium Gem example is frost-white and beautifully preserved, with clean, vibrant fields. Typical strike softness affects Liberty's branch hand and the eagle's trailing leg, but this is true of most 1920-S halves. This is easily one of the most attractive Premium Gem examples of this date that we have handled. Population: 10 in 66 (2 in 66+), 0 finer (1/21).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24R5, PCGS# 6582, Greysheet# 6722)

Weight: 12.50 grams
