1917-S Walking Liberty Half, MS65
Scarce Obverse Mintmark Example
Seldom Offered in Full Gem Condition

1917-S 50C Obverse Mintmark MS65 PCGS. The 1917-S is one of the key Walking Liberty issues regardless of grade, but especially in high Mint State condition. It becomes scarce in near-Gem condition, and rare in full Gem condition, both in an absolute sense and by demand. Fewer than 90 pieces are certified in MS65 and finer grades -- hardly sufficient to satisfy the vast number of collectors pursuing an advanced collection of Walking Liberty halves.

This is a brilliant Gem coin, with the characteristic flat rims and vibrant, satinlike silver surfaces that draw the greatest attention of series specialists. Marks are limited to a pair of microscopic, pinpoint ticks below S of PLURIBUS on the reverse -- hardly worth mention, but the only marks of any kind attributable to post-Mint origin. The strike is sharp as often seen for this well-produced issue, and eye appeal satisfies even the highest expectations. Population: 45 in 65, 4 finer (10/19).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24PT, PCGS# 6572, Greysheet# 6715)
