1939-S 50C

Description

1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, NGC MS-67. This exceptional example of the 1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a significant piece of American coinage history. The San Francisco mint mark variety from this year is recognized by collectors as a key date in the Walking Liberty series, with relatively modest mintage figures contributing to its desirability in higher grades. The coin exhibits the characteristic design elements of John Reichardt's iconic Walking Liberty reverse, featuring Lady Liberty in stride on the obverse and an eagle at rest on the reverse. At the MS-67 grade assigned by NGC, this specimen displays exceptional luster and eye appeal with only minimal contact marks consistent with the grade. The strike quality is bold, and the surfaces retain the brilliant original finish that makes this date particularly attractive to collectors pursuing complete sets. The 1939-S is a recognized condition rarity, as examples in this grade are seldom encountered. This combination of historical significance, key date status, and superior preservation makes this piece a worthy addition to any advanced Walking Liberty collection or type set. The NGC certification and holder provide assurance of authenticity and grade accuracy.
