Description

# 1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. An exceptional Gem Uncirculated example of this scarce San Francisco Mint Walking Liberty half dollar, graded a superb NGC MS-67. The 1939-S represents a challenging date in the beloved Walking Liberty half dollar series, with relatively low mintage and few specimens surviving in such extraordinary preservation. This pristine specimen exhibits remarkable technical quality, with sharp, well-defined design elements characteristic of the early strike of this classic silver type. Lustrous surfaces display a soft, satiny original mint bloom with subtle silver-gray and light champagne tones. The preservation is truly exceptional, with minimal contact marks and extraordinary eye appeal that places this coin among the finest known examples of its date and mint mark. The Walking Liberty half dollar, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, is considered one of the most beautiful coins in American numismatic history. This 1939-S issue represents a key date in the series, with a modest mintage of just 2,628,000 pieces. NGC population reports indicate very few examples have achieved this superior MS-67 grade, making this a significant offering for the advanced collector or type specialist.
