1939-S 50C

Description

1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, NGC MS67. This exceptional 1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a significant example from the final decade of this iconic series. The San Francisco mintmark specimen displays the characteristic design elements that made the Walking Liberty type a cornerstone of American coinage—Lady Liberty striding confidently across the obverse with an eagle at rest on the reverse. The NGC MS67 grade reflects outstanding preservation with only minor imperfections visible under magnification. At this grade level, the coin exhibits brilliant luster, sharp striking detail, and eye appeal that places it well above typical circulated survivors from this era. The 1939-S is a moderately scarce date in the series, with lower mintage figures compared to Philadelphia and Denver issues of the same year, making high-grade examples increasingly desirable to collectors. Walking Liberty Half Dollars remain among the most aesthetically admired U.S. coinage designs, and specimens in MS67 condition command strong collector interest. This certified example offers both numismatic quality and the historical significance of a key date from the final years before the series' discontinuation in 1947. NGC Certification: 8522908007
