NGC US Coin Census for Walking Liberty Half Dollars (1916-1947)

Owner Comments:

The Walking Liberty proof half dollar is a favorite and often a centerpiece of a 20th century type set. The 1936-1938 issues are significantly more difficult to find than the 1939-1942 issues. In total, about 75,000 proof Mercury dimes were made.

This original example has brilliant gold edge toning and gorgeous eye-appeal.

Walking Liberty proofs seem to be at a low right now - a great time to buy. NGC graded 454 in PF68 and less than 100 in a higher grade.
