Description

1933-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67 (NGC). CMQ.

Offered is an outstanding example of this sharply struck issue. Both sides are virtually pristine with full, brilliant, frosty white luster. Superb in every respect, and sure to please even the most discerning numismatist. This issue is quite important as it is the only silver coin struck in 1933 by the San Francisco Mint, as demand for Peace silver dollars, the new Washington quarters and Mercury dimes was sluggish as the Great Depression really dug into the economy. Half dollars were issued to the tune of 1,786,000 pieces, and few Americans could afford to set these aside during this period. This is one of the absolute finest examples seen by NGC and a prize for the date and mint collector who demands the very best.

PCGS# 6591. NGC ID: 24RE.

NGC Census: 11; 5 finer (all MS-67+).

Estimate: $13000
