Description
1921-S Half, MS63
The Key to the Walking Liberty Series
1921-S 50C MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1921-S half is one of the
transcendent rarities that is well-known to collectors in other
specialties. Its true rarity became apparent around 1975 when a Gem
sold at auction for $10,000--an unheard of price for a Walking
Liberty half. It has been a steady climb upward since. Examples are
rare in all conditions of Mint State and one cannot afford to be
too picky when a nice 1921-S comes onto the market. This piece has
the usual softness on the head of Liberty, but the hand and skirt
lines are well defined. The mint luster is softly frosted and there
are few marks for an MS63 coin, just a couple of minor ones in the
right obverse field. Each side has a layer of light golden-rose
toning that further enhances the coin's eye appeal. Population: 33
in 63, 61 finer (8/10).From The Helen Gates Kirk Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
