Description
Gem 1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Reverse Mintmark Variety
Fourth Rarest Issue in High Grade
1917-D 50C Reverse MS65 PCGS. From a deceptively high
mintage of 1.9 million pieces, the 1917-D Reverse Mintmark Walking
Liberty half dollar is an underrated issue in today's market.
Apparently few examples were preserved at the time of issue, with
collectors preferring the more obvious Obverse Mintmark issue.
Experts rank the Reverse type as the fourth rarest issue of the
series in high grades. Coins in Gem Mint State condition are rare,
and only nine examples have been certified in higher numeric grades
by PCGS and NGC combined (6/10).The present coin is a spectacular Gem, with outstanding, satiny mint luster. The striking details are exceptional for an early Walking Liberty half dollar, with only a touch of softness on Liberty's head and hand. The mostly brilliant surfaces are visited by attractive hints of champagne toning. The surfaces are free of mentionable distractions.(Registry values: N4719)
