Description / 1928-S 50C Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS63
Introducing an exquisite piece of numismatic history, the 1928-S 50C Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS63. From the storied San Francisco Mint, this coin is a testament to the artistry and meticulous craftsmanship that defines this era. The Walking Liberty Half Dollar series is beloved by collectors for its iconic design and historic significance, and the 1928-S is a standout within this illustrious series.
The 1928-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is particularly scarce, especially in higher circulated grades. In mint state, it is a true rarity, making it a highly coveted piece for discerning collectors. Within the series, it is acknowledged as a key date, sought after for its scarcity in Gem condition. While it is slightly more common than the 1923-S, it is rarer than the 1927-S, further underscoring its unique appeal.
One of the distinguishing features of this coin is its strike. The intricacies of Ms. Liberty's hand and the central feathers of the eagle on the reverse often present challenges. Many of the mint state specimens available show signs of weak striking in these areas. Even those considered to have a decent strike are rare, and well-struck examples are virtually unheard of, making this coin particularly intriguing for connoisseurs of fine detail.
In terms of luster, 1928-S Walking Liberty Half Dollars can exhibit a bright, frosty white sheen that captivates onlookers. Nevertheless, toned mint state versions dominate, offering an array of rich and varied hues that enhance the allure of this numismatic gem.
Owning the 1928-S 50C Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS63 is not just about possessing a coin; it's about holding a tangible connection to history, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of numismatics. Whether you are an established collector or an enthusiastic newcomer, this coin is a remarkable addition to any collection, radiating the rich legacy of the San Francisco Mint and the artistry of the early 20th century American coinage.
