Description

1942-S 50C MS66 PCGS. The 1942-S is quite scarce at this lofty grade level, which numismatists attribute to the frequently poor striking definition of this World War II-era issue. The current example is typically weak on Liberty's branch hand and on the eagle's trailing leg feathers, but the other design elements are crisply produced. The coin exhibits a rich satiny sheen over mostly untoned surfaces that show faint traces of tan color on the upper right obverse.
