Exceptional 1929-D Half Dollar, MS66

1929-D 50C MS66 PCGS. It has been speculated that with the economic chaos caused by the stock market crash of 1929, many 1929-D halves did not enter circulation, thus explaining the higher number of Mint State examples of this issue than other branch mint Walkers from the 1920s. This is truly a remarkably preserved example. Sharply struck throughout, the surfaces sparkle with bright mint luster and are almost devoid of post-striking impairments. For the perfectionist, there are a couple of tiny contact marks in the right obverse field, but they will have no effect on the price or the desirability of this amazing coin. Population: 53 in 66, 1 finer (2/09).
Ex: Heritage (6/2006), lot 1802.
