- 1929-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64 (NGC). Splashed with bold steel-blue and reddish-gold peripheral toning, the obverse of this vivid example contrasts with a minimally patinated reverse. The strike is sharp throughout, and the luster is full. The 1929-D represents the first half dollar struck in Denver since 1921. Its mintage of 1,001,200 pieces is among the lower quantities for a pre-1930s issue, though it still pales in comparison to the output of half dollars in the post-Depression era. The crash of the stock market on October 29, 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression restricted the dispersal of much of this issue, and the coins instead sat in Treasury vaults for several years before being slowly released in the 1930s. By then, half dollar mintages had already risen enough to meet demand and a surprising percentage of this issue remains in Mint State relative to the mintage. The present piece will appeal to both date collectors and toning enthusiasts. PCGS# 6589. NGC ID: 24RC. Click here for certification details from NGC.
