Magnificent PCGS/CAC MS-68+ 1943 Half Dollar Among the Finest Certified for Both the Type and Issue 1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-68+ (PCGS). CAC. This virtually pristine 1943 half dollar features delicate pinkish-lavender and pale gold iridescence on intensely lustrous surfaces. With a frosty texture and a razor-sharp strike, this beautiful coin is perfect in every way and worthy of the strongest bids. The United States' booming economy at the height of World War II resulted in a mintage of 53,190,000 circulation strike half dollars at the Philadelphia Mint in 1943. This is the single highest mintage for a half dollar issue up until that point in time, and it would not be surpassed until the 1963-D Franklin issue reported a mintage of 67,069,292 pieces. Far and away the most available Walking Liberty half dollar in Mint State, the 1943 is one of the quintessential type issues in this beautifully designed and perennially popular series. Examples that approach perfection, however, are exceedingly rare and present an imposing challenge to even the most persistent of collectors. This is true of the Walking Liberty series as a whole, in fact, for PCGS has certified only 10 examples of the type in MS-68+, and none finer. Our offering of the Lulu Collection in this sale presents two of these special PCGS MS-68+ coins: the 1943, offered here, and the PCGS/CAC 1942 offered above. Competition will be intense as Set Registry enthusiasts, type collectors, and specialists in this classic series vie for this ultimate 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar.
