Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1919 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The branch mint Walking Liberty half dollar issues of 1919 experience significant publicity for their conditional rarity, which leaves the Philadelphia issue in shadows when it too is a notable rarity in high grade. The 1919 Philadelphia coin is about a grade offset from its branch mint counterparts; i.e., it is about as rare in MS66 as the -D and -S coins are in MS65. Superb Gem 1919 Walkers are prohibitively rare. CAC-approved coins in these high grades are even rarer. We have previously handled only three 1919 half dollars in MS66 with a CAC endorsement, and the two most recent (both PCGS coins) have garnered more than $25,000 and nearly $33,000, respectively. The present example presents a full strike and beautiful, frosty mint luster with no distracting abrasions. A blush of light champagne toning warms each side. This high-end rarity should excite Registry Set collectors and specialists of the series. Population: 23 in 66, 5 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 5 finer (6/17).
