Description

Gem 1920-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Underappreciated Date in High Grade

1920-D 50C MS65 NGC. From a smallish mintage of 1.5 million pieces, the rarity of the 1920-D Walking Liberty half dollar in high grade is not appreciated by nonspecialists. Experts believe only 40-50 examples of the 1920-D are extant in Gem condition, and population data from the leading grading services corresponds closely with this estimate. The 1920-D is actually rarer than such acknowledged low-mintage keys as the 1919 and 1921, both issues with much smaller mintage figures.
The present coin is a magnificent Gem example, with brilliant surfaces overlayed by pale reddish patina, evenly distributed over both sides. The strike is remarkable for a Walking Liberty issue, with close to full details showing in the skirt. Only a few details at the top of the skirt lines lack definition, and there is clear separation between the thumb and forefinger. The details of the eagle's leg are a little soft, as always seen. The only mentionable marks are an oval-shaped light chocolate colored stain above the motto, and a faint grease stain in the left obverse field. Census: 15 in 65, 1 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
