1939 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. A breathtakingly beautiful, conditionally scarce Superb Gem that would make an excellent addition to a high quality Walking Liberty half dollar set. The obverse is painted in a pearlescent halo of powder-blue and lime-green, surrounding fully brilliant surfaces at center. Autumnal shades of bronze and olive-green are marbled across the reverse, backlit by pearly underlying surfaces. Sharply struck for the issue and essentially pristine beneath a glass. The 1939 is the most readily obtainable middle date half dollar of this design in high grades, boasting a mintage of 6.8 million coins. It is easily found in all grades up through MS-66. However, MS-67 examples are scarce and survivors are rare any finer. Just 28 coins have been certified finer than this piece by PCGS. From the Harrington Collection.
