<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1919-S 50C MS65 NGC. The 1919-S is one of the premier rarities in the early Walker series. It is widely recognized as such and even collectors that specialize in other series are aware of the scarcity of this issue. Perhaps this is so because it has always been a highly regarded date. Two generations have now grown up knowing the '19-S Walker is rare, just as collectors in all fields know the '14-D cent is rare. In 1947 a Mint State piece was valued at $67.50, and in the "heat" of 1980 gems were bid up to $23,000. This is a sharply defined example whose only area of softness is along the side of the eagle's right leg and on the right side of the breast. The surfaces show even, creamy, satin-like luster, and while predominantly untoned there is just a hint of charcoal, green, and gold patina around the margins. A couple of tiny abrasions are noted in the right obverse field, and on Liberty's lower forward leg, while the reverse seems essentially mark-free. Population: 17 in 65, 6 finer (3/04).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>
