***Auction Highlight*** 1918-d Walking Liberty Half Dollar 50c Graded ms65 By SEGS. This early issue from the Denver Mint is an important condition rarity among early Walkers. Nearly all of the 3.8 million half dollars produced entered circulation. Gem examples are seldom encountered. Strike quality was also a problem at the Denver Mint in this last year of World War I, as the facility apparently had a policy of lowering the strike pressure to extend die life. This example, although a bit soft on the skirt lines and the eagle's left leg, is still stronger than most others, and has well-struck details elsewhere. Bright mint luster radiates from the brilliant, mostly untoned surfaces. A few grade-limiting marks on Left leg are also noticeable only with a glass. Absolutely appealing, and virtually unobtainable finer. Tied for 7th Finest Known. I have included 2 ms65 examples for your comparison. 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
