A lovely Gem with speckled russet peripheral highlights to otherwise pearl gray surfaces. The strike is uniformly sharp throughout, both sides also sporting smooth satin luster. The premier Philadelphia Mint issue of its type, the 1916 ranks as one of the most plentiful Walking Liberty half dollars despite a relatively limited mintage of 608,000 pieces. Undoubtedly a sizeable number of examples were saved by the contemporary public due to the novelty of the design, with unintended benefits for todays Mint State type collectors.，PCGS# 6566.
