Choice Proof 1936 Walking Liberty Half Dollar

1936 50C PR64 PCGS. Several issues among the Proof Walking Liberty half dollars are known without the AW monogram of designer Adolph Weinman. In his Complete Encyclopedia, Walter Breen described such issues for 1940 and 1941 Proof half dollars. In The Complete Guide to Walking Liberty Half Dollars, Bruce Fox listed similar varieties for every proof issue from 1936 through 1942. This Choice Proof 1936 half dollar has the monogram nearly gone but still weakly visible. It becomes immediately apparent that these monogram-less coins are the result of continual polishing of the proof dies during production, and exist in various stages from fully defined to completely missing. The Choice Proof example offered here is fully brilliant with nicely mirrored fields and light contrast between the fields and devices.(#6636) (Registry values: N1793)
