Description

1935 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, MS67, Philadelphia Mint. This exceptional MS67 example of the 1935 Walking Liberty half dollar represents a significant find for serious collectors of this iconic series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint without a mintmark, this coin exhibits the characteristic white frosty luster typical of quality 1935 issues. While the 1935 is relatively common in circulated grades due to its substantial mintage of 9,162,000 pieces, reaching Superb Gem condition is notably challenging for this date. The strike on this particular specimen is somewhat lighter than Philadelphia Mint issues from the years immediately following, a characteristic that directly contributes to the rarity of high-grade examples. This striking weakness, combined with the natural challenges of preserving Walking Liberty half dollars in pristine condition, makes this MS67 coin particularly noteworthy. Population data confirms the scarcity at this level, with only 17 examples graded higher across the entire population of 100 certified specimens. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper with a reeded edge, this half dollar remains an important piece of American coinage history and numismatic artistry. The design by Adolph Alexander Weinman is beautifully rendered on this well-preserved example, making it an attractive addition to advanced collections of Walking Liberty half dollars or early 20th-century U.S. coinage. *PCGS Certificate #57578777*
