1947 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).

1947 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67 (NGC). Frosty in texture and sharply struck throughout, this vividly and attractively toned Superb Gem exhibits the boldest color at the borders. With the San Francisco Mint striking its last Walking Liberty half dollars in 1946, it fell to the Philadelphia and Denver facilities to close out this iconic series in 1947. Although readily obtainable in an absolute sense, our own Jeff Ambio (2008) states: ...the 1947 is an underrated coin much like the 1946. It is rarer than the 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945, as well as the 1941-D, 1943-D, 1944-D, 1945-D, 1946-D and 1946-S in high grades. Clearly this is a key date issue in the Walking Liberty half dollar "short set" of 1941 to 1947. Quality-conscious collectors specializing in this popular series would be wise to secure this above average example. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. PCGS# 6630. NGC ID: 24SM.
