A wonderfully toned GEM example of this early Walker. While there were more than six million halves struck and they are readily available in lower Mint State grades, they are very scarce in GEM, even more so with very nice colorful toning. The well preserved, lustrous surfaces beam from under a lovely layer of powder blue and apricot iridescent toning. The devices were nicely rendered by a decent blow from the dies, even Liberty's thumb is well outlined. The surfaces are clean and free of any serious marks ticks. The eye appeal is quite nice and very high end. PCGS 122, NGC 43, CAC 15. The last one sold in our December 2018 Final Premier Session internet sale for $3,760 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,250. Rare finer, just 23 are graded MS66 or MS66+, and they are worth well into the five figures today, especially for CAC-approved examples. Cert. Number 25328967 PCGS # 006580
