详细说明

An elegant specimen with virtually untoned surfaces that show appreciable contrast between reflective fields and lightly frosted motifs. The first Proof half dollar struck in the United States Mint since 1915, and the first of the Walking Liberty design type, the popularity of the 1936 with today's collectors knows no bounds. This is also the key date issue among Proof Walkers, the mintage of 3,901 pieces lower than that of the other six issues in this brief Proof series. The number of coins made available to collectors was only 3,874, the remaining 27 pieces reserved for assay; all of the former had been distributed to contemporary numismatists by the end of January 1937. Eagerly sought at all levels of preservation, the 1936 is of particularly interest to advanced collectors in grades above Proof-65, as here.
