1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. CMQ.

Condition Rarity 1919-S Half Dollar CAC Stickered Pop of Just 3/0 1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. CMQ. One of the finest 1919-S half dollars that we have handled in recent memory, this impressive premium Gem is exceptionally well preserved with a silky smooth appearance to both sides. This example features a noteworthy strike for the issue, with emerging to bold detail in the centers and sharp to full definition elsewhere. Lightly toned at lower left obverse and upper left reverse, this lovely coin will be just right for a top ranked Walking Liberty half dollar set on the PCGS Registry. A key date issue for its type in circulated grades, the 1919-S has a mintage of just 1,552,000 pieces. In Mint State it is the second rarest issue in this series after the 1921-S (per Jeff Ambio, Collecting & Investing Strategies for Walking Liberty Half Dollars, 2008). Most survivors grade no finer than MS-64 due to impaired luster, numerous wispy abrasions and/or excessive softness of strike in the prime focal areas. Especially strong bids are encouraged for the present lot, as it is one of the three highest-graded 1919-S half dollars known to PCGS and NGC to meet with CAC approval. The last of these to sell at auction was the PCGS/CAC MS-66 that realized $48,000 in our November 2020 Auction - a vastly different market from that of today. The present offering from the Mack C. Chase Collection will easily and considerably surpass that number. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. PCGS Population: 13; with a single MS-66+ finer. CAC Stickered Population: 3; 0. PCGS# 6579. NGC ID: 24R2. Click here for certification details from PCGS. Click here to see Coins in Motion.
