1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).

1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67 (NGC). Here is a brilliant and pearlescent beauty with a blazing silver-white appearance. Intensely lustrous and frosty throughout, the strike is equally as impressive with emerging to bold definition in the centers. The surfaces are as pristine as would be expected for the assigned grade. Struck on the West Coast on the very cusp of the United States' official entry into World War II, the 1941-S has traditionally been considered the undisputed key date issue in the popular Walking Liberty half dollar "short set" of 1941 to 1947. It has a mintage of 8,098,000 pieces, and while not the smallest in the series, the nation's burgeoning wartime economy and the tumultuous events of the deadliest conflict in human history resulted in relatively few examples being spared circulation. Even so, enough were preserved to make the 1941-S readily obtainable in Mint State grades below MS-67. At this level the issue is exceedingly rare, the present example among the finest certified at NGC. A true prize for the advanced collector of this popular 20th century silver series. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. NGC Census: 61; with a single MS-67+ finer. The corresponding PCGS Population is 29/0. PCGS# 6613. NGC ID: 24S5.
