1917-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Reverse Mintmark. MS-66 (PCGS).

Lustrous 1917-S Half Dollar Condition Rarity Reverse Mintmark 1917-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Reverse Mintmark. MS-66 (PCGS). Beautiful satin to softly frosted surfaces exhibit speckles of reddish-russet peripheral iridescence to dominant champagne-gold toning. The strike is superior for this challenging San Francisco Mint issue with only minor softness on the high points that in no way detracts. What is even more incredible here is the quality of the fields and devices, for close inspection with a loupe finds no marks or other blemishes that distract the eye. The conditionally challenged 1917-S Reverse Mintmark is a much rarer Walking Liberty half dollar in the finer Mint State grades than a sizable mintage of 5.5 million pieces might imply. This is a second-year issue in its series, which means that it benefited from neither the first-year status of the 1916 issues nor the more advanced numismatic activity of the 1940s, both of which resulted in the saving of greater numbers of Mint State coins. Scarce even in MS-64, the extant population of the 1917-S Reverse Mintmark in Gem Uncirculated dwindles down to fewer than 100 distinct survivors. At the MS-66 level the present example is one of the very finest certified in this highly select group, and it is a coin that would make an outstanding addition to another advanced Walking Liberty half dollar set. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 3 finer (all MS-66+). PCGS# 6573. NGC ID: 24PU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
