1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Reverse Mintmark. MS-65 (PCGS).Gray and olive toning blooms into iridescent pastels under a light. Gold and powder blue at the centers transitions to rich sapphire and violet near the borders. Softly lustrous and free from any distracting marks. <p>In 1917 the mintmarks on half dollars were found on both the obverse and the reverse, though beginning in 1918 they were placed on the reverse only, remaining there through the Franklin half dollar series. Though the 1917-D half dollar with reverse mintmark is somewhat more available in circulated grades than its obverse mintmark counterpart, in Mint State grades the reverse mintmark style is considerably scarcer and more desirable, especially in MS-65, as here. Only seven examples have been certified finer than this Gem by PCGS; those seeking a beautiful high-grade example need look no further.<p>PCGS# 6571. NGC ID: 24PS.PCGS Population: 50; 7 finer.
