- This is a sensational borderline GEM example of this important KEY DATE early Walker. The mintages of silver coins dropped (save for the 1921 Morgan dollars) with the post-war recession. Only 548,000 half dollars came off the dies at the San Francisco mint in 1921. The low mintage did not prevent the vast majority of the issue to disappear directly into early 1920s commercial channels. Mint State survivors are scarce in all grades, and become VERY RARE in the MS63 level; near GEMS like this totally original MS64+ is a MAJOR RARITY. Fewer than two dozen examples have graded finer at PCGS over decades.
A thick, frosty mint brilliance is dusted over by a delicate antique russet-gold and pearly-pewter. The strike overall is crisp, with just a hint of marginal weakness at Liberty's hand, typical for the date. The surfaces are sleek, clean, and even a strong glass fails to locate a single tick or fleck of any kind that is worthy of mention. The eye appeal is incredible.
PCGS 54, NGC 54, CAC 12. There are seven graded MS64+ at PCGS. This is the only one to sell in auction, most recently bringing $60,000 in February 2022, however, more recently a PCGS MS64 CAC (not "+") sold for $66,000 in the 2023 FUN auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $80,000. With just 21 graded in the GEM category at PCGS, and any CAC-approved example easily being worth in the six-figures, this is a VERY RARE and important opportunity for any advanced Registry Set collector of Walkers. Good luck.
