The perfect blend of exceptional preservation and superb Strike full Strike makes this piece a stunning example to experience in-hand. The centers remain pearlescent and silvery, with full device details. Less than 30 coins rank finer at PCGS through MS-66 as the high grade. Produced during the final year of World War I when the United States' economy was still strong due to the nation's participation in that conflict, the 1918-D had a generous mintage of 3.8 million pieces. The demands of commerce were great, however, and the vast majority of examples entered circulation at the time of issue and remained there until heavily worn or lost. The result is that the 1918-D is now numbered among the rarer Walking Liberty half dollars even in lower Mint State grades. The typical Uncirculated survivor is limited in grade by subdued luster, excessive surface abrasions and/or soft striking detail in and around the centers. Writing in the 2008 book Collecting & Investing Strategies for Walking Liberty Half Dollars, specialist Jeff Ambio ranks the 1918-D as the third rarest issue in this series at and above the MS-65 grade level. I wish you good Luck in obtaining this rare example. Trends in ms64 are $6,100 and ms65 $32,500 A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
