1918-S 50C MS65 NGC
<B>1918-S 50C MS65 NGC.</B></I> A brilliant and highly lustrous Gem with frosty silver surfaces and an absence of toning on either side. Some central weakness is evident, especially on the obverse, typical for the issue. The drapery, branch hand, and foliage are all partially blended together. Despite having the largest mintage of any 1918 issue, the '18-S half dollar was not saved at the time of issue, accounting for the rarity of higher quality pieces. A conditionally rare date that is not often seen as fine, and virtually never in higher grades. Census: 34 in 65, 3 finer (10/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
