1929-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).Uniformly sharp in strike with bountiful mint luster, both sides of this gorgeous Gem are further enhanced by wisps of delicate golden iridescence. The first Denver Mint half dollar produced since 1921, the 1929-D has a limited mintage of 1,001,200 pieces. Even so, it is not a particularly rare issue in Mint State since the onset of the Great Depression kept many examples from entering circulation in the year of striking. Retained in federal vaults until the mid 1930s, by the time most 1929-D half dollars were released numismatic interest focused on the low mintage resulted in many examples being tucked away before acquiring wear. This is an especially well preserved survivor whose superior striking quality further enhances its appeal.From the High Rise Collection.
