1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC.A resplendent Superb Gem, both sides exhibit intense mint frost and brilliant, snow white surfaces. While well struck overall with truly outstanding, silky smooth surfaces. Celebrated as one of the most beautiful of all United States coin designs, the Walking Liberty half dollar has been one of the most popularly collected series in all of American numismatics. At the height of World War Two, more than 53 million 1943 half dollars were struck, making it the most common issue in the entire series. More than a few rolls of Uncirculated coins were saved for collectors to appreciate. Gem Mint State pieces are readily available and are especially popular as type coins. However, virtually pristine examples are the opposite story and present an imposing challenge to even the most strident of connoisseurs. Competition can be expected to be intense as Set Registry collectors, type specialists, and aficionados of this classic design type vie for this premium quality survivor.
