1918-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (NGC).

oteworthy Premium Gem 1918-S Half Dollar 1918-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (NGC). A delight to behold, the luster across this stunning premium Gem vacillates between satiny and frosty in different regions. The surfaces are pearly, platinum-white, and deliver outstanding eye appeal. Untroubled by marks of any consequence, and uncommonly well struck by the standards of this challenging issue. Although the mintage for the 1918-S was seemingly plentiful at more than 10 million pieces, examples are surprisingly scarce in higher Mint State grades. With the United States' economy in full swing during the final year of World War I, the pressing need for new coinage in the avenues of commerce precluded most 1918-S half dollars from remaining Uncirculated. Hence, this issue is rare even at the certified MS-65 grade level. In NGC MS-66, the present example is among the very finest we can ever recall offering and should be pursued by any serious specialist who needs a premium example for their collection. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. NGC Census: 4; 0 finer. The corresponding PCGS Population is 3/2 (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 6576. NGC ID: 24PX.
