Stellar-Quality Mint State 1939 Half Dollar Tied for Finest Seen at PCGS and CAC 1939 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-68+ (PCGS). CAC. A glorious Ultra Gem with superior technical quality accompanied by outstanding visual appeal. Smooth and virtually pristine, the surfaces are aglow with full mint luster. Sharply to fully struck throughout, the entire package is dressed in mottled iridescent toning of golden-apricot, champagne-pink, powder blue and antique gold. When it comes to middle date (read: 1934 to 1940) issues in this series, only the 1940 has a more generous Mint State population than the 1939. At and above the MS-65 level the latter is actually the most readily obtainable middle date Walking Liberty half dollar. Such numismatic academics should not, however, mislead the reader into viewing the offered coin as "common," for that word has no place in the discussion of such as awesome condition rarity as this. One of the five finest examples certified by PCGS, and a beautiful coin in all regards, our offering of this dazzling Ultra Gem represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for advanced Walking Liberty half dollar collectors, especially those competing for top ranking on the PCGS Set Registry. PCGS Population: 5; 0 finer. CAC Stickered Population: 17; 0. The former total includes coins certified both MS-68 and MS-68+. PCGS# 6606. NGC ID: 24RW.
