Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1917-D 50C Reverse MS65 PCGS. Ex: Sounder. This coin boasts one of the sharpest strikes that this cataloger has seen on a 1917-D half dollar with the mintmark on the reverse. Liberty's right (facing) hand on the obverse and the central breast feathers on the reverse eagle are as close to full as one should expect for the date, and even Liberty's head exhibits emerging definition. Full mint luster blankets both sides with an overlay of delicate golden iridescence. With few abrasions of any size, and none that are outwardly distracting, this coin is knocking on the door of a premium quality Gem grade.
The 1917-D Reverse Mintmark was produced in greater numbers (1.9 million coins vs. 765,400 pieces) than its similarly dated Obverse Mintmark counterpart. Fewer examples of the former variety were saved, however, and the '17-D Reverse has long been heralded as one of the great condition rarities from the initial years of Walking Liberty half dollar production. Population: 50 in 65 (2 in 65+), 5 finer (3/17).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2003), lot 7318.
