1939-S 50C

Description

1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, NGC MS-67. This impressive example of the 1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents the final year of this iconic series, which concluded after two decades of production. The San Francisco Mint mark denotes West Coast manufacture during a year of modest mintage figures, making this issue a significant piece of early 20th-century numismatic history. The coin exhibits the exceptional strike quality and lustrous surfaces characteristic of high-grade specimens from this era. NGC's MS-67 designation indicates near-gem quality with only light imperfections visible under magnification. The obverse presents Adolph A. Weinman's celebrated design of Liberty in full stride, while the reverse displays an eagle at rest, both rendered with crisp detail and excellent eye appeal. This date and mint combination represents a key issue within the Walking Liberty series, particularly in premium uncirculated grades. The MS-67 grade places this example well above typical survivors and makes it an excellent addition to advanced type sets or date runs of the series. With its strong eye appeal and solid technical grade, this coin offers both historical significance and collector appeal. NGC Certificate #8522908007
