Nearly Flawless 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Finest Graded by PCGS 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-68+ (PCGS). This absolutely magnificent 1941 half dollar combines superior eye appeal with world class surface preservation. Small circles of brilliance in the centers are framed by iridescent peripheral toning in gold, violet and lime-green. Intense satin to softly frosted luster remains fully undisturbed and the strike is sharp. This coin is truly impressive when examined at any angle, with or without magnification. The 1941 Philadelphia Mint half dollar represents the first in the popular Walking Liberty half dollar "short set" that continues through the series' end in 1947. This issue also marks the beginning of a massive increase in yearly mintages from all three operating coinage facilities as the nation transitioned from the Great Depression to the economy of the Second World War. With a sizable mintage of 24,192,000 pieces, the 1941 is one of the most available circulation strike issues in the entire Walking Liberty series. Indeed, Mint State coins are readily obtainable in all grades up to and including MS-66. Beginning in MS-67, however, this issue becomes scarce, and Ultra Gems at MS-68 are incredible condition rarities. The virtually flawless example offered here is a miraculous survivor that ranks as the single finest known to PCGS. It is a treasure that will appeal to Set Registry participants and other advanced specialists in this series.
