1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Breen-5182. No AW. Proof-69 (NGC). One could spend a lifetime searching for a Proof 1941 half dollar and not find this coins equal. Vividly and beautifully toned, both sides are splashed with powder blue, sandy-orange, antique gold, smoky silver and olive-russet iridescence that provides truly memorable eye appeal. Striking detail is razor sharp to full over even the most intricate design elements. Boldly reflective in finish, the dies having been highly polished prior to striking, enough so on this reverse so that the designers initials were inadvertently removed in the process. Expertly preserved and approaching numismatic perfection, this is an outstanding survivor from a Proof mintage of 15,412 coins that would serve as a highlight in the finest specimen type or date set. Extraordinary!
