1917-D 50C Reverse MS65 NGC
<B>1917-D 50C Reverse MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1917-D with Reverse mintmark, from a mintage of 1.940 million pieces, is recognized as a condition rarity, as relatively few were apparently saved in Mint State. Moreover, the issue commonly has abrasion and strike issues, especially weakness on Liberty's head (Bruce Fox, <I>The Complete Guide to Walking Liberty Half Dollars</B></I>).<BR> This particular Gem reveals just a few minute contact marks that are completely within the parameters of the grade designation, and an impressive strike leaves strong definition on the design elements, including Liberty's head and branch hand, and most of the eagle's plumage. Both sides are awash in vibrant luster, and display whispers of light tan-gold, somewhat more so on the obverse. This coin will be an excellent fit to an Uncirculated Walking Liberty half dollar collection. Census: 18 in 65, 4 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
