Description
1942-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS).
This intensely lustrous, silky smooth Superb Gem combines a brilliant obverse with a lightly toned reverse dusted in pale silvery iridescence. 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. As one of the finer examples known to PCGS, this condition rarity is eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced collection.
PCGS# 6615. NGC ID: 24S7.
PCGS Population: 43; 10 finer (all MS-68).
Estimate: $1950
