- Stunning MS-68 PCGS 1945 Half Dollar
Single Finest Certified
1945 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-68 (PCGS).
Otherwise silver-tinged surfaces display splashes of iridescent orange-olive patina here and there around the obverse border. This is a fully struck coin with outstanding satin to softly frosted luster. But, what truly sets it apart from the typical 1945 half dollar offered in today's market is the virtually pristine appearance to both sides. At the threshold of numismatic perfection, this Ultra Gem would serve as a highlight in the finest Walking Liberty half dollar set.
Struck during the final year of World War II, the 1945 is the last of the high mintage half dollar issues in the Walking Liberty "short set" of 1941 to 1947. The 31.5 million-piece issue has provided an abundance of Mint State coins, and even more selective numismatists should be able to procure an attractive MS-67 with a modicum of patience. This issue is a noteworthy rarity in PCGS MS-67+, while in PCGS MS-68 the outstanding coin offered here is both unrivaled and unsurpassed. Surely destined for inclusion in another world class Walking Liberty half dollar collection on the PCGS Set Registry.
Provenance: From the Lulu Collection, the #1 all-time finest PCGS Walking Liberty Half Dollars Short Set.
