1928-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS).This is a highly significant coin in a 1928-S half dollar, Uncirculated examples of which are scarce in an absolute sense and typically confined to the lowest grades due to poor striking detail and/or noticeably abraded surfaces. Both sides of this premium quality Gem are silky smooth in appearance with a full endowment of billowy mint frost. Otherwise brilliant, close inspection reveals a few speckles of russet toning on the obverse that appear to drift toward the border. A bit lightly struck in the centers, typical of the issue, were it not for this feature this lovely example would almost certainly have secured an MS-66 grade from PCGS. Alone among 1928-dated issues in the Walking Liberty half dollar series, the 1928-S is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades and more challenging to collect than the 1927-S. This piece offers particularly desirable premium Gem quality, for the vast majority of survivors of this issue are well worn from extensive commercial use.PCGS Population: 3; 9 finer (MS-66+ finest).
