ロット詳細

This incredible coin resonates with full mint frost and luster. The surfaces are as close to perfection as can be imagined. The strike is better than average as Liberty has her left thumb well outlined, and there are a few skirt lines evident below; the eagle's trailing thigh is soft, as expected for this San Francisco Mint issue. Otherwise pearlescent surfaces are further enhanced by a halo of vivid rose-russet and steel-blue iridescence on the obverse. Undoubtedly one of the very finest known of this issue, and a coin of extraordinary beauty and quality that will be an important addition to an advanced registry collection. Trailing only the 1941-S, the 1942-S is the rarest "short set" Walking Liberty half dollar in the finest Mint State grades. With a mintage of 12.7 million coins, the 1942-S half dollar is readily available up through grades of MS-65, but becomes incredibly rare at the Superb Gem level. This MS-67 example is one of the select few at top of the <em>NGC Census</em> for the issue, and it is sure to sell for a strong premium.
