Description

1918 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).

Largely brilliant and definitely flashy, this Gem exhibits lovely mint frost to creamy smooth surfaces. Flecks of pale russet toning are evident over much of the surfaces, confirming the originality of this delightful coin. Sharply to fully struck. The 1918 has a mintage of 6,634,000 pieces, a generous total for a pre-1934 Walking Liberty half dollar and is among the more readily available early date issues in this series, but only in circulated grades. Mint State survivors are surprisingly difficult to find, and most grade no finer than MS-64. Scarce in MS-65, the 1918 is rare in higher grades, and the present example represents an excellent value for astute Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiasts.

PCGS# 6574. NGC ID: 24PV.
