1929-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC.An impressive Gem with platinum-white surfaces and intense luster throughout. Uniformly frosty and free of disturbances. Mint-made die polish in the upper reverse fields contributes to the significant eye appeal and desirability. <p>Trailing only the 1933-S, the 1929-S is the second most available San Francisco Mint half dollar of the 1916 to 1933 era. As with its identically dated Denver Mint counterpart, the onset of the Great Depression kept many examples from being released until the mid 1930s, by which time the coins were desired by contemporary numismatists and speculators. While Mint State examples can be found without much difficulty, they are seldom encountered above MS-65. The present MS-66+ is among the very finest survivors from the 1.9 million pieces struck, with just 2 coins certified finer by PCGS. It is the ideal candidate for an advanced PCGS Registry Set. <p>PCGS# 6590. NGC ID: 24RD.PCGS Population: 4; 2 finer.
