Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1917-S 50C Reverse MS65+ PCGS. CAC. The mintmark was moved to the reverse partway through the year in 1917. Although the San Francisco Mint struck a substantial total of more than 5.5 million Walking Liberty half dollars with the new placement, the 1917-S Reverse is surprisingly difficult to locate in higher grades today. Most of the coins were released into circulation and few high-quality examples were saved for numismatic purposes.
The present coin is an attractive Gem, with a better-than-average strike that shows some slight separation between Liberty's thumb and fingers on the wreath hand. The well-preserved surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster, under low-intensity shades of lavender-gray and pale gold toning. Population: 52 in 65 (2 in 65+), 12 finer. CAC: 15 in 65, 3 finer (8/17).
