Description
MS65 1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Underrated Reverse Mintmark Variety
1917-D 50C Reverse MS65 PCGS. CAC. In 1917 the mintmark was
moved to the reverse on the Walking Liberty half dollar, resulting
in two major varieties for the date. Although the Reverse Mintmark
variety had a much higher mintage than the Obverse Mintmark
variety, the Reverse Mintmark issue is definitely rarer in high
grades today. Apparently collectors saved fewer examples at the
time of issue. Among Walking Liberty half dollar issues today, only
the 1918-D, 1919-D, and 1921-S are more difficult to locate than
the 1917-D.The present coin is a pleasing Gem example, with brilliant surfaces and vibrant, satiny mint luster. While the strike might be considered soft on another issue, among early Walking Liberty half dollars, the strike details are comparatively sharp. The overall eye appeal is attested by the CAC sticker. Population: 33 in 65, 5 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
