1919-S 50C MS66 NGC
<B>1919-S 50C MS66 NGC.</B></I> The 1919-S has the highest mintage of the three 1919 half dollars, and was apparently saved less. It is not as prestigious as the 1919-D, but is still an important and rare coin in the higher Mint State grades.<BR> A review of NGC and PCGS population data indicates the numbers of 1919-S half dollars drop significantly at the MS65 level, and again in Premium Gem, where fewer than 20 examples have been seen. A solitary coin is rated MS67.<BR> Pastel multicolored toning bathes both sides of this radiantly lustrous MS66 specimen. A well executed strike leaves sharp definition on the design features, including near-complete detail on the branch hand. Well preserved surfaces reveal just a couple of obverse grade-consistent marks. Census: 7 in 66, 1 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
