Bold 1918-S Walking Liberty Half, MS65

1918-S 50C MS65 NGC. One of the undisputed keys to the Walking Liberty half series in Gem condition, the 1918-S was produced to the extent of more than 10 million examples, but apparently few pieces were saved in this last year of the "Great War." This is a simply marvelous example, with a bold strike that encompasses a split thumb on Liberty's branch hand, good articulation on the head, and a bold sandal. For a design from the first hub, the skirt lines are prominent. The highpoints are mostly silver, with pretty, regular gold-amber patina accenting both sides. A nice acquisition for a top-grade Walker collection that will never require upgrading--even assuming that a nicer specimen could be found. Census: 35 in 65, 3 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N4719)
