Superb Key Date Walking Liberty Half 1938-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. One of the key dates to the series, this low mintage issue of 491,600 pieces is rarely found above the basal Gem Mint State level. The present coin boasts a stunning overlay of champagne-pink iridescence to a base of full, satiny mint luster. Blended powder blue highlights flash into view as the surfaces rotate under a light, most noticeably on the reverse. The strike is bold to sharp with slight softness at the centers and the skirt lines. A visually impressive example with strong technical quality to boot. This issue represents the only one in the series with a mintage of fewer than one million pieces since the 1921 trio of rarities. With the lowest mintage of any circulation strike Walking Liberty half dollar of the 1923 to 1947 era, the 1938-D enjoys strong collector demand in all grades. With the quality offered here this issue is rare and particularly desirable to advanced numismatists. PCGS Population: 11; 0 finer. CAC Stickered Population: 28; 0.
