<B>1919-D 50C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> In near-Gem condition, the 1919-D and '21-S are the two foremost keys in the widely collected Walking Liberty half series, and a strong case could be made for placing this issue at the top of the list. Aside from the fact that the supply of '19-D Walkers at the Mint State level is extremely limited, the single greatest deterrent in locating a Choice or better example is the telltale weakness of strike, especially on the hand and head area of the obverse, that seems common to virtually all 1919-D half dollars.<BR> On this extraordinary example, Liberty's right (facing) hand is essentially complete and the head detail is a trifle mushy, being typically defined as virtually all Uncirculated pieces seen by this cataloger. This coin's luster parallels the remarkable strike, intense throughout with the barest trace of golden color that deepens to mottled charcoal at selected border areas. Magnification is required to locate a few unobtrusive blemishes on the central devices and in the right obverse field. A serious collector of Walking Liberty half dollars might search for years and not find a finer 1919-D than the amazing near-Gem offered here. Population: 69 in 64, 11 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
