Lot Description

Exceptional eye appeal on this truly stunning and conditionally rare Walking Liberty half dollar. Both sides are essentially brilliant and untoned apart from pale golden iridescence that shows up when viewed with the aid of indirect lighting. Strike quality is also noteworthy, the definition otherwise full with emerging to sharp detail over the high points. Expertly preserved, as well, with a virtually pristine appearance.<p>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 PCGS MS-66+ with CAC approval is sure to appeal to specialists in this popular 20th century series.
