1929-D 50C MS (PCGS#6589)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1929-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Light pearl and olive-gray patina adorns the obverse, the reverse remains essentially brilliant. Both sides are fully lustrous with a smooth, frosty texture to razor sharp features. The 1929-D Walking Liberty half dollar represents the first half dollar struck in Denver since 1921. Its mintage of 1,001,200 pieces is among the lower quantities for a pre-1930s issue, though it still pales in comparison to the output of half dollars in the post-Depression era. The crash of the stock market on October 29, 1929, and the ensuing Great Depression restricted the dispersal of much of this issue, and the coins instead sat in Treasury vaults for several years before being slowly released in the 1930s. By then, half dollar mintages had already risen enough to meet demand and a surprising percentage of this issue remains in Mint State relative to the mintage. Even so, Gem examples are extremely scarce. The present piece approaches the very finest survivors of the issue and is sure to catch the eye of quality-conscious collectors.
