Shining MS64 1921-D Half Dollar

1921-D 50C MS64 PCGS. What sort of company does this issue keep? In his August 21, 2001 Item of the Week column for Numismatic News, Paul M. Green wrote:

"There are many great 20th-century coins. The list includes things like the 1909-S Indian cent; 1909-S VDB Lincoln; the 1916-D Mercury dime; any number of Barber dimes, quarters and half dollars; and the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter. To that list of impressive company we should probably add the 1921-D Walking Liberty half dollar."

In recent years, as the Walking Liberty half dollar has gained in popularity, the 1921-D has come into its own, and coins such as this desirable near-Gem have become particularly prized. With above-average detail and strong, satiny luster beneath gold-orange and pale silver-gray patina, this piece offers grand eye appeal. PCGS has graded just 33 finer examples (2/09).
