Description

1916-S 50C MS64 PCGS. The 1916-S is one of the most difficult of the Walking Liberty half dollar series in fully struck condition. Liberty's branch hand and head, and the eagle's breast and trailing leg are especially prone to incomplete definition. Liberty's thumb on this near-Gem is sharply defined, and most of the head detail shows. The eagle's breast feathers are also well defined, but those on the trailing leg are incomplete. Attractive satiny luster characterizes both sides, which show hints of light tan color. A few minute, inoffensive handling marks keep the coin from Gem status.
