Lot Description

Exceptional eye appeal on this truly stunning and conditionally rare Walking Liberty half dollar. Both sides are untoned apart from pale pinkish-tan blushes at the borders. Strike quality is also noteworthy, the definition otherwise full with emerging to sharp detail over the high points. After only the 1934-S, the 1935-S is the rarest middle date (1934 to 1940) Walking Liberty half dollar. With most Mint State survivors confined to lower grades due to poor striking quality and/or noticeably abraded surfaces, this premium MS-66+ is sure to appeal to specialists in this popular 20th century series.
