1921 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64+ (NGC). CAC. This gorgeous and fully original near-Gem half dollar is toned in iridescent champagne that yields to bolder lilac and golden tones at the peripheries. Luster is full and frosty and the surfaces are very smooth for an example of this key date Walking Liberty half dollar. The 1921 has almost always been in high demand, but not until most had already entered circulation. Demand for new half dollars was low that year as the world economy adjusted sharply, reflecting the changes from war driven production to peacetime activities. The 1921 has a mintage of 246,000 pieces and perhaps just 750 remain at all levels of Mint State preservation. With quality-conscious collectors ever more the standard, market pressure is evident at the Gem and higher grades making this 64+, CAC approved example an attractive option.
