Description

1936-P Walking Liberty Half Dollar, MS67 PCGS. This MS67 example of the 1936-P Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents an exceptional specimen from the final decade of this iconic series. Designed by the renowned Adolph Alexander Weinman, this coin exhibits the characteristic sharp striking and frosty white luster that defines the finest examples from this era. The 1936 Philadelphia issue maintains its original mint brilliance with exceptional eye appeal, showcasing the artistic merit of one of America's most beloved half dollar designs. The 1936-P occupies a unique position within the Walking Liberty series as the highest mintage issue produced between 1917 and 1940, with an impressive 12,614,000 coins struck. While the date remains relatively available in Mint State and Gem grades, it is notably scarcer than the Philadelphia Mint issues of the 1940s, when coins were preserved in significantly greater quantities by the roll. This particular coin's MS67 grade places it in the upper tier of the population, with only 74 examples graded finer across all services. Struck in the standard 90% silver, 10% copper composition on a reeded edge planchet, this half dollar represents both numismatic artistry and historical significance from the final years before the Walking Liberty design was retired. PCGS Certificate #58952712.
