- 1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC.
With rich, mottled toning that appears to drift toward the rims. Lustrous and smooth, a bold to sharp strike is also worthy of praise. Even though the dies for the new Walking Liberty half dollar did not arrive at the Denver Mint until November 27, 1916, the branch mint managed to strike 1,014,400 of the new coins before year's end, almost as many as at the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints combined. For 1916 and part of 1917, the mintmark was located on the obverse; later in 1917 it was moved to the reverse and a short-lived minor subtype was created. Generally well struck, a couple thousand Uncirculated coins were saved as first of their kind, making this issue somewhat more available than the other two for the year. Even so, premium quality Gems such as this are scarce in an absolute sense and rare from a market availability standpoint. Here is a significant opportunity for the quality conscious aficionado of 20th century silver.
