1917-S Half Dollar, MS63
Scarcer Obverse Mintmark Variety

1917-S 50C Obverse Mintmark MS63 PCGS. When Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty design debuted on the half dollar in 1916, the mintmark was placed on the obverse beneath IN GOD WE TRUST. The following year it was moved to the reverse margin about 8 o'clock, although nearly 1 million half dollars were struck at San Francisco before the change occurred. The 1917-S Obverse Mintmark half dollar is scarce in Uncirculated condition compared to many later issues in this series. The Select example offered here displays satiny luster and excellent eye appeal with lightly marked surfaces. The strike shows some of the typical softness on the centers.(Registry values: N2998)
