1933-S Half Dollar, MS67
Among the Finest Examples
Colorful Border Toning

1933-S 50C MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Duckor. The Great Depression took a toll on virtually every aspect of American life, including coinage production. Half dollar manufacturing ceased altogether between 1930 and 1932, and the San Francisco Mint was the only facility to resume output after that three-year hiatus. The 1933-S was struck to the extent of 1.7 million coins. Most pieces saw circulation, and few were purposefully set aside by collectors. This example is clearly an exception.

Dappled border toning speaks to the unquestionable originality of this Superb Gem. Each side displays peripheral bands of golden-russet, crimson, and forest-green patina, ceding to thickly frosted centers that maintain much of their original brilliance. Full strike detail occurs on the motifs. This is an immaculate Registry-quality example that deserves a home in an advanced set. Population: 15 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 35% of submissions for this issue/grade passed. 9 in 67, 0 finer (11/17).
Ex: Legend Numismatics (8/2015).
