1921-S Walking Liberty Half, MS64
Low-Mintage Key Issue

1921-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. From a low mintage of 548,000 pieces, the 1921-S Walking Liberty half dollar is the most elusive issue of the series in absolute terms. Apparently, contemporary numismatists were not alerted by the small production total and few high-quality examples were saved at the time of issue. Perhaps collectors concentrated on the Philadelphia and Denver issues of this date, which have even lower reported mintage totals, but are slightly more available in today's market. In any case, the 1921-S is very scarce at the MS64 grade level and finer coins are rare.

The present coin is an impressive Choice specimen that shows better detail on Liberty's head and wreath hand than usually seen on this issue, which is known as a strike rarity. The brightly lustrous surfaces show only minor signs of contact, with attractive highlights of champagne-gold and lavender-gray toning. Population: 51 in 64 (2 in 64+), 18 finer. CAC: 8 in 64, 5 finer (6/16).
