Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1921-D 50C MS65+ NGC. In Gem condition, the 1921-D Walking Liberty half dollar is a formidable rarity. In that past two decades, we have handled a '21-D on more than 1,100 occasions, but of these only 29 were Gems. Moreover, the auction appearance rate of this issue is heightened by some coins being traded multiple times. It is likely that the number of MS65 coins known is significantly below the combined 54-coin population reported by NGC and PCGS.
We have only handled a single Plus-graded Gem, the NGC CAC coin from the McClure Collection (Heritage, 6/2016), which realized $56,400. The present coin is the only other MS65+ representative at NGC. The strike is sharper than that of the McClure coin, and the satiny surfaces are equally well-preserved. A blush of light golden toning warms each side. Census: 19 in 65 (2 in 65+), 3 finer (3/17).
