1919 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. In addition to being a condition rarity, '19-P Halves are also a strike rarity with fully struck, Gem coins like this amazing MS66 being very difficult to locate. The striking details of this Premium Gem are uncommonly bold for an early Walker, with pinpoint detailing on the skirt lines, hand area, and head on the obverse. All of the eagle's feathers are boldly defined too, and the surfaces exhibit a satiny, well frosted appearance beneath without even a breath of toning.
The year 1918 introduced a design modification to the collar on Liberty's dress which continued into 1919, the year of this rare half dollar. It was redesigned and broadened from the design of 1916-17. Also, ray 8 from the sun is now centered between rays 7 & 9. Before it had been out of alignment and closer to ray 7. There is an incuse border at the top edge of the ground line from date to sun and the motto was changed to taller, thinner, more widely spaced letters. Each of these design modifications was an attempt to improve the appearance and striking quality of the coin. (#6577)
