***Auction Highlight*** 1917-D Obverse Walking Liberty Half Dollar 50c Graded ms66 By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE ENTIRE AUCTION - Up for Auction is one of the finest known surviving examples of the 1917-d. The 1917-D Obverse Mintmark half dollar represents the final issue in the series with that popular trait. Only 765,400 pieces were struck, and examples are about as elusive as the 1917-D Reverse Mintmark in the upper echelons of Mint State. Indeed, this Premium Gem is among the finest 1917-D Obverse Mintmark half dollars certified. The design elements are boldly impressed, and the rims are broad and squared with a distinct "fin" around much of each side. Soft lavender-gold toning embraces satiny mint luster on both sides, while the underlying surfaces are virtually void of any detectable flaw. None of the usual softness associated with the strike of a 1917-d is present on this superb example. I have included the most recent ms66 to come to auction, the “Dukor” example that realized $78,000 in the Heritage auction. Please note the stronger strike on our example. I have also included the 2015 sale of the ms66 that realized $32,900, also please note that strike weakness. Lastly I have included the most recent sale of a coin in this range, the April 2021 sale of the ms65+ example, Once again, note the strike weakness and the similar look to our coin. I wish you good Luck in obtaining this superb example. 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
