1939-D 50C, MS

Description

# 1939-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar, MS67. A premium example of this popular early-date Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint during the final year of the series' design. The 1939-D represents a key date in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar sequence, with a mintage of 4,267,400 pieces—modest by the standards of the era and increasingly scarce in higher grades. This piece has been certified by NGC as MS67, placing it solidly in the upper echelon of the grade distribution for this date. At this grade level, the coin exhibits exceptional luster and eye appeal, with minimal contact marks or imperfections visible to the unaided eye. The strike is characteristically sharp, with excellent detail throughout Liberty's figure and the eagle reverse. The surfaces display the original mint bloom expected of an uncirculated specimen of this vintage. The 1939-D is particularly sought after by collectors assembling complete Walking Liberty Half Dollar sets, as well as by those specializing in Denver Mint coinage. The combination of strong eye appeal, significant rarity in Mint State grades, and the historical significance of the final year of this classic design makes this an attractive offering for serious collectors.
