Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1293		1892 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A well struck and almost completely white gem. A touch of golden toning in the obverse periphery accents this beauty. The surfaces are microgranular to satiny with sparkling metal flow lines. A few stray and faint hairlines are found on the cheek. Reverse quality is pristine with not a single hairline or mark to mention. Only a fraction of the original mintage of 900,000 have survived in a gem condition as pleasing as the present offering. PCGS population of 71 in MS-65, 32 in MS-66, 8 in MS-67 and 1 in MS-68 as finest (PCGS # 6461) . Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,500.

Lot 1294		1908-O Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Soft gray surfaces with hints of champagne in the periphery. A few delicate and faint hairlines but seemingly finer than the assigned grade. A relatively common Barber half dollar from the New Orleans Mint, a year in which 5,360,000 were minted. In an old PCGS green label holder (PCGS # 6514) . Estimated Value $600 - 700. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,323
Lot 1295		1906 Barber Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. A very choice, glittering white proof example with semi-cameo effect contrast. A total of 950 proofs were struck. Estimated Value $900 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,208
Lot 1296		1914 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63 Cameo. Deeply reflective and brilliant. Intense metal flow lines seen on both obverse and reverse underneath blazing radial luster. A light patch of film and minor hairlines at stars 7 and 8. A few other light hairlines on the cheek of Liberty. The reverse quality of this coin is far above the assigned overall grade of MS-63. PCGS has graded only 5 Cameos for this issue, 1 in MS-63 and 4 higher (PCGS # 86561) . Estimated Value $700 - 800. The Michael M. Magdic Collection.

Lot 1298		1917 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. SEGS graded Proof 63. A needle sharp strike exhibiting wide edges, a full head on Liberty, sharply separated fingers on her outstretched hand and a defined branch hand. All the criteria (and more) that is described by Walter Breen in his Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins. The matte proof surfaces are platinum-grey in color. Breen notes only two, and possibly a third specimen to exist. Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000. Ex I & L Goldberg Sale September, 2003 Lot 443. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1299		1917-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. Mint mark on reverse. PCGS graded MS-64. A magnificent example that displays exceptional sharpness combined with blast white and satiny surfaces. An issue that can come with weakness, it is refreshing to see a '17-D Reverse with as much detail as the present offering. The definition of Liberty's outstretched hand is full, as is the breast definition of the eagle. Liberty's head, often an area with notable weakness, is above average in definition. In fact, were it not for a scuff on the sun, a minor tick on the leg and light obverse hairlines, this beauty would be a strong candidate for the gem level. Of the two varieties issued this year, the Obverse and Reverse mint mark, the Reverse mint mark is substantially scarcer. Generally speaking, the 1917-D Reverse mint mark variety is about twice as rare in overall rarity and twice as rare at each respective grade level from MS-60 to MS-65. A choice and strongly appealing 20th century rarity! (PCGS # 6571) . Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,370
Lot 1300		1918-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A difficult early issue from the Walker series, this near-gem example with immaculate surfaces that are white and satiny throughout. Heavily lustrous with a few minor abrasions confined to Liberty's leg and the sun. A fine die crack is noted leaving the lower portion of the left upright of H and heading towards the strongly impressed mintmark. A lovely example of this 20th Century rarity and in our opinion quite choice for the assigned grade (PCGS # 6575) . Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $9,775
Lot 1301		1919-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53. A near choice AU example of this key date Walker. While the surfaces do display light hairlines, the lack of marks and the presence of light golden toning make this example seem conservatively graded. Key date Walkers have seen a steady increase in price at all grade levels but there is still plenty of momentum left for appealing circulated examples, for this is where most collectors try to acquire the "keys". Pop 10. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,220
Lot 1302		1921-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded EF-45 PQ. A nice circulated example of this exceedingly popular key date Walker. Original luster is still present on the obverse and reverse. Surfaces are white and we feel this is a pretty desirable EF example. Population 14 (PCGS # 6585) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,750

Lot 1305		1936 Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. A gorgeous specimen with a pleasing cameo effect. The first year of issue for the Proof Walking Liberty half dollar series.
