Description

1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, PCGS MS-67. This exceptional 1946-S half dollar represents a superior example of the final year of the iconic Walking Liberty series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint with a mintage of 3,724,000 pieces, this coin exhibits the characteristic quality associated with the later issues of this beloved design. The obverse features Adolph Alexander Weinman's elegant depiction of Liberty in full stride, while the reverse displays an eagle at rest—a design that has captivated collectors for over a century. The PCGS MS-67 grade places this specimen well above the typical survivor from 1946-S production. While the 1946-S is acknowledged as the most common San Francisco Mint Walking Liberty Half Dollar due to significant quantities of uncirculated rolls preserved since issue, this coin demonstrates notably superior striking quality and eye appeal. The frosty luster and sharp details command attention among the many Gem examples available to collectors. With only 14 coins graded finer by PCGS and a total population of 249 graded specimens, this MS-67 represents a genuinely scarce offering in the upper echelon of the date. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this half dollar retains its original mint brilliance and represents both a collectible treasure and a sound investment in precious metals. An excellent opportunity to acquire a high-grade example of this final-year Walking Liberty issue. PCGS Certificate #55899071
