Outstanding Premium Gem 1920 Half Dollar

1920 50C MS66 PCGS. Ex: Charles Schultz. The 1920 is one of the easier early-date Walking Liberty half dollars to locate in Mint State, at least through MS64. Gems can be obtained with patience and searching, but Premium Gems are elusive. Indeed, PCGS and NGC combined have graded fewer than 20 coins in MS66 (some of which are likely resubmitted pieces), and none finer.
Soft gray-violet patina is accented by yellow-green and sky-blue at the margins of this MS66 example. Powerful luster radiates from both sides, and a solid strike results in strong definition on the design elements. A few minute marks may well preclude an even higher grade. Population: 12 in 66, 0 finer (2/09).
