Description
High-End 1917-S Walking Liberty Half
Reverse Mintmark, MS66
1917-S 50C Reverse MS66 NGC. From a respectable mintage of
5.5 million pieces, the 1917-S Reverse Mintmark half dollar is
surprisingly rare in Mint State grades. The issue circulated
readily at the time of release, and few examples were saved by
collectors. Fewer than 60 specimens are estimated to exist today at
or above the Gem level, rare in the context of this series.The present coin is a beautifully preserved specimen, with vibrant luster and an almost unheard-of technical grade for this issue. The centers are minimally toned save for an occasional glimpse of tan. Aside from a touch of weakness at the usual central trouble spots, this is a well-defined Premium Gem that offers amazing visual appeal. A coin that merits careful consideration by the series specialist. Census: 2 in 66, 1 finer (2/09).
