1944-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67+ (NGC). CAC. This is a truly memorable example that exhibits a pearly blend of faint purple and pale gold patina over frosty surfaces. Both sides are virtually pristine, as befits the certified grade, and they are also well struck with all design elements boldly to sharply rendered. The 1944-D marks the beginning of a trend in decreasing yearly mintages for Denver Mint half dollars that would continue through the end of the Walking Liberty series in 1947. Just 9,769,000 pieces were struck for the 1944-D, and production would progress down to lows of 2.1 million in 1946 and 3.9 million to close out the series in 1947. Mint State survivors of the 1944-D, while plentiful in an absolute sense, are seldom found in certified grades above MS-66. In this context, it is impossible to overstate the significance of the present example in NGC MS-67+. For those seeking the highest numismatic quality, this is it for 1944-D Walking Liberty half dollars. Here is a significant offering for an advanced collector. NGC Census: 16; just 1 MS-68 is finer).
