1939-S 50C

Description

1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, NGC MS-67. This exceptional 1939-S Walking Liberty half dollar represents a significant example from the final decade of this iconic series. The San Francisco Mint issue of 1939 is recognized among collectors as a key date, with the "S" mintmark positioned below the eagle on the reverse. This particular specimen has been certified by NGC at the MS-67 grade, indicating a near-gem uncirculated coin with only minor imperfections visible under magnification. The Walking Liberty design, created by renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, remains one of the most admired images in American numismatic history. The obverse features Lady Liberty in full stride, while the reverse displays a majestic eagle at rest. At the MS-67 level, this coin exhibits excellent luster and eye appeal, with well-preserved details throughout both sides. The 1939-S is particularly sought after by type collectors and those pursuing complete Walking Liberty sets, as mintage figures and availability make higher grades increasingly challenging to obtain.
