<B>1919-D 50C MS63 PCGS.</B></I> The 1919-D half dollar had a mintage of 1,165,000 pieces, and is one of the key dates of the Walking Liberty series in Mint State. In a November 8, 2005 <I>Numismatic News</B></I> article entitled " 'D' Walkers Have Beauty and Branch Mint Allure," Paul Green, while emphasizing the importance of the 1919-D in MS65, contends that this issue "... is potentially going higher in price and at a minimum should remain the key date Walking Liberty half dollar both in MS65 and probably in any Mint State grade."<BR> This stresses the importance of the Select example that we present in this lot. Its silvery surfaces display splashes of beige-gold with pleasing luster shining through. The strike is typical, in that the central areas are soft, as is seen on virtually all examples, regardless of grade. Handling marks are minuscule, indeed probably fewer than expected for the numerical grade designation. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
