An exceptional quality example of this conditionally challenged issue. The strike is superior for a San Francisco Mint half dollar of this design type, the high points with emerging to bold definition and all other features razor sharp. Close to brilliant and dominated by intense mint luster, there is some subtle champagne-gold and powder blue iridescence present to further reward the persistent viewer.<p>Only 8.9 million 1944-S half dollars were struck, down from the 13.4 million pieces produced in San Francisco in 1943, and also lower than the 10.1 million-coin total achieved for the 1945-S. No 1944-S has been graded higher than MS-67 by PCGS; this piece is tied for finest certified at the top of the <em>PCGS Population Report</em> with only 18 other grading events. An elusive and significant offering for advanced specialists in this series, and one that might not come along again for quite some time.
