Description

1917-D 50C Reverse MS65 PCGS. A scarce and underrated issue in higher grades, the 1917-D Reverse has a much higher mintage than its Obverse counterpart. However, fewer examples were set aside at the time of issue, and today the Reverse coins are ranked fourth out of the 65-coin series. The devices are sharply struck on each side, with the usual softness on the skirt lines that is common to almost all early Walkers. The mint luster is satiny and especially vibrant, and there is just the slightest hint of golden toning on each side. An outstanding example of this scarce early Walker and one of the finest known. Population: 32 in 65, 5 finer (2/09).
