- This glorious example of both the type and the issue will delight even the most exacting numismatist. Sharply struck throughout, as often noted for the issue, what sets this coin apart from most 1933-S halves extant are the level of surface preservation and attractiveness of toning evident on both sides. Silky smooth in texture with bountiful mint luster further enhancing its appeal. This is the only half dollar delivery of its year, and it is the final issue in what numismatic scholars consider the early Walking Liberty series. The 1933-S is a favorite with collectors since, unlike many other San Francisco issues of the type, it is often found with a razor sharp to full strike. It is also the most readily obtainable S-Mint Walker of the 1916 to 1933 era, which further enhances its desirability for advanced type purposes. Conditionally rare, however, are examples that grade above the basal MS-66 level. Indeed, this is one of the finest 1933-S half dollars that we have ever offered, a coin that is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a particularly impressive type set or carefully assembled Walking Liberty collection.
