1917-S 50C Obverse MS65 PCGS. The difficulty
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1917-S 50C Obverse MS65 PCGS. The difficulty that collectors will experience in locating a 1917-S Obverse Half increases dramatically when one crosses above the VF grade level. In Mint State, this issue is the second rarest in the Walking Liberty series after the 1919-S. Although this low mintage (952,000 pieces) Half Dollar was once considered to be a strike rarity, Bruce Fox (The Complete Guide to Walking Liberty Half Dollars, 1993) seems to suggest that the term "condition rarity" would be a more appropriate adjective for the '17-S Obverse. The present Gem displays otherwise sharp striking detail that wanes ever so slightly over a few of the highpoints in and around the centers. The luster is full, the surfaces are essentially untoned, and are one or two tiny bagmarks away from an even higher grade. A find for the advanced Walking Liberty Half Dollar date collector, and a coin that should see considerable bidder competition. Population: 29 in 65, 3 finer (2/04).From the Nicholas Collection. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
