1928-S Half Dollar, MS66
None Finer, Bold Strike

1928-S 50C MS66 PCGS. The 1928-S is the last in a series of three consecutive S-mint issues where Western production constituted the entirety of Walking Liberty half dollar output for the year, preceded by the 1923-S and 1927-S. Only 1.9 million 1928-S half dollars were struck, and the average grade awarded by the leading certification companies falls between XF45 and AU50. This monumental Premium Gem ranks among the top 10 submissions at PCGS (11/19).

Practically every design element is sharply struck, the exception being Liberty's branch hand, which still shows clear thumb separation. Variegated toning is speckled around a brilliant center on the obverse. The reverse remains mostly bright and frosty with a touch of peripheral color. An impossible-to-upgrade example of this challenging issue. Population: 10 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (11/19).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24RB, PCGS# 6588, Greysheet# 6727)
