- Scarce Gem Uncirculated 1920-D Half Dollar
1920-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.
A highly lustrous and visually appealing example of this conditionally challenged early date Walking Liberty half dollar issue. Brilliant apart from the lightest pale silver tinting, both sides also display lovely mint luster. The texture is satiny with modest cartwheel visual affects discernible as the coin rotates under a light. The strike wanes a bit at isolated high points, typical of the type, although it is razor sharp to full elsewhere. Very smooth for a mintmarked half dollar from the Roaring Twenties, and sure to appeal to specialists.
Full Gem examples of this date are very rare and are in far shorter supply than a number of notable higher priced Gem issues such as 1917-D Obverse Mintmark, 1917-D Reverse Mintmark, 1919-S, 1921, and 1923-S. This underrated issue certainly deserves more recognition as a challenging rarity; PCGS has graded only eight coins finer than the present example. With overall superior quality, as confirmed by coveted CAC approval, this coin is worthy of very strong bids.
PCGS Population: 54; 8 finer (MS-66+ finest).
CAC Population: 8; 4.
PCGS# 6581. NGC ID: 24R4.
