1942-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC.
Vividly and beautifully toned on both sides, this stunning 1942-D half dollar is worthy of a premium in excess of that already required for its status as a condition rarity in PCGS/CAC MS-67+. Boldly struck with full, smooth mint luster. Exceptional! The 1942-D is the key date among the late date Walking Liberty half dollars in the "short set" of 1941 to 1947. Despite a mintage of 10.9 million coins, it is surprisingly scarce in grades above MS-66. Writing in the 2008 reference Collecting & Investing Strategies for Walking Liberty Half Dollars, our own Jeff Ambio ranks the 1942-D as the rarest "short set" issue in Mint State, and the fifth rarest in grades of MS-65 and finer.
PCGS# 6615. NGC ID: 24S7.
