Description
Stunning Superb Gem 1943-S Half Dollar
1943-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.
Fully endowed with smooth, frosty mint luster, this gorgeous Superb Gem also boasts bold to sharp striking detail throughout the design. Minimally toned in pale silvery iridescence, most viewing angles reveal a brilliant coin. One of the more challenging late date Walking Liberty half dollars to locate in Mint State, the 1943-S is the fourth rarest issue in the "short set" of 1941 to 1947 after the 1942-D, 1942-S and 1943-D. Just 13.4 million were struck and the vast majority of survivors are in grades of MS-65 or lower. Production quality is also problematic for this issue, with most coins showing soft strikes and weak luster. This piece is superior in every respect, as the approval by CAC confirms. A significant offering for advanced Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiasts.
PCGS# 6620. NGC ID: 24SB.
PCGS Population: 77; 13 finer (all MS-67+).
