1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS).A subtle medley of pinkish and lavender tones blankets the lustrous facade of this important near Gem. The fields show a fine satin texture that remains entirely undisturbed by friction and softly cartwheels at a tilt. Sharper than average, the central elements are nicely defined for the issue and Libertys head shows good detail to her temple region. <p>In Mint State this is the third rarest issue of its type, surpassed by only the 1921-S and 1919-S. However, it is a severe strike rarity, with most Uncirculated examples flatly struck in the centers and limited to grades well below Gem. From a mintage of just 1,165,000 pieces, this is a significant piece that is sure to appeal to astute Walking Liberty half dollar enthusiasts. Just 19 coins rank finer at PCGS through MS-66.From the Anne Kate Collection.
