This stunning Superb Gem Uncirculated example is fully brilliant with outstanding satin-white luster. Both sides are silky smooth in texture and present as pristine during in-hand viewing. Sharply to fully struck, as well, and sure to please even the most discerning Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiast.<p>The Barber-designed silver coins were on their way out in 1916, when outside artists were invited to submit designs for the dime, quarter, and half dollar. For the half dollar and the dime, designs by New York City artist Adolph A. Weinman were selected. These have long been considered among the most beautiful American coin designs. The Philadelphia Mint's premier issue in the new half dollar series was produced to the extent of 608,000 pieces. Saved in significant quantities as a first year issue, the 1916 is more plentiful in Mint State than this limited mintage might imply. Demand for this popular issue remains strong, however, with the result that high grade examples in MS-64 and MS-65 are scarce from a market availability standpoint. In MS-66 the 1916 is very scarce in an absolute sense, while in PCGS MS-67 the offered coin is an exceptional condition rarity. Only the most aggressive bidding strategy will prevail here.
