Choice 1916-S Half Dollar
Low Mintage, First S-Mint Walker

1916-S 50C MS64 PCGS. Important as the first San Francisco Walking Liberty half dollar, surprisingly few 1916-S examples were saved by collectors at the time of issue. With its low mintage of 508,000 pieces, the date is quite scarce in grades above MS64. The 1916-S is difficult to locate with a sharp strike, and the present coin shows the usual softness on Liberty's head and right hand, although the thumb is distinct. The surfaces are satiny, with scattered spots of russet toning standing out against softer shades of pink and pearl-gray.(Registry values: N1793)
