- Significant First Year 1916-S Walking Liberty Half
1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).
Attractive surfaces are lustrous with a softly frosted texture. Expectably smooth for the assigned grade, both sides are also brilliant apart from wisps of pale champagne-pink iridescence. Well struck for the issue with uncommonly bold to sharp detail throughout the design. Although the mintage for the 1916-S is only 100,000 coins fewer than that of the 1916 (508,000 vs. 608,000 pieces), this mintmarked issue is far more elusive in Mint State. Undoubtedly fewer San Francisco Mint coins were set aside at the time of issue by contemporary Americans looking for keepsakes of the newly introduced half dollar. With most Uncirculated survivors grading no finer than MS-64, this superior quality example will be just right for an advanced collection.
