Walking Liberty Half, MS64
Struck on a Quarter Planchet

Undated Walking Liberty Half Dollar -- Struck on a Silver Quarter Planchet -- MS64 PCGS. A wrong planchet mint error on a popular obsolete silver type. A quarter planchet found its way between Walking Liberty half dollar dies. The coin was struck aligned with the collar die at 10:30. A rim is present on the obverse between 9 and 12 o'clock, and on the reverse between 6 and 9 o'clock. The date is absent, but the reverse mintmark area is present, and the absence of a D or S confirms a likely Philadelphia strike. E PLURIBUS UNUM is the only complete legend. All of STATES OF AMERICA is off the flan, but the denomination is intact except for the base of LLAR. Well preserved and satiny with a nice strike and medium cream-gray and tan-gold toning. The obverse displays occasional hints of olive-green patina. Our online auction archives show nine prior appearances of a Walker on a quarter planchet, all bearing World War II dates between 1941 and 1944. Illustrated on page 206 of Mike Byers' World's Greatest Mint Errors. Probably lot 2150 from Stack's April 1962 auction of the R.E. Cox, Jr. Collection.
