详细说明

A confidently struck Choice Uncirculated example whose visual display is improved by an overlay of warm, even, sandy-silver patina on satiny mint luster. Although this issue normally comes well struck, this coin is sharper than most with nearly complete detail to Liberty's head and left hand. One of the key dates in the series.<p>This prized rarity has always been in high demand, as the low mintage of 246,000 pieces pointed early attention to these, but not until most had already entered circulation. Demand for new half dollars was low that year as the world economy adjusted sharply reflecting the changes from war driven production to peacetime activities as World War I had concluded a few years prior. Of those 1921 half dollars saved, not many retain the Choice or Gem level surfaces desired by many collectors so pricing pressure has always been strong when a high grade example does appear on the market. This is a desirable MS-63 example of this key date issue that is destined for an advanced collection.
