Description
1920-S Walking Liberty Half, MS66
A Superlative Example and One of the Finest Known
1920-S 50C MS66 NGC. The 1920-S is deceptively unavailable
in the better grades of Uncirculated, especially in light of its
mintage of 4.6 million pieces. This issue has several stumbling
blocks that stand in the way of a coin that grades MS66. Abrasions
are usually generous on most 1920-S halves, thus preventing most
from grading higher than MS63. Strike is also a consideration with
most pieces. However, one uniformly strong quality seen on these
coins is the superlative luster. This piece exhibits the sparkling
mint frost expected and each side is just slightly toned. The
strike is only a bit weak on the head of Liberty, the upper skirt
lines, and the trailing leg of the eagle. The surfaces overall are
magnificent. Only two coins have been certified finer, and
combining the MS66 examples from both services a mere 13 total
coins have been certified.(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24R5, PCGS# 6582, GSID# 6722)
