Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1507		1892 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck and nicely toned with dullish rather than vivacious luster, but the toning is original and smooth dove gray with purplish accents (PCGS # 6461) . Estimated Value $650 - 750. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $776
Lot 1508		1893-O. PCGS graded MS-64. Boldly struck, frosty and toned around the edges. An early O-mint Barber quarter dollar. Pop 34; 4 in 65; 3 in 66 (PCGS # 6466) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,990
Lot 1509		1894 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Untoned and some minor hairlines or album slide marks on the cheek. Only 972 proofs struck. A satiny frosted example with intense mirror luster that radiates broadly beneath the untoned frosted relief of the devices. Nicely struck in most places, attesting to its Proof status once more. Pop 10; 25 finer. (PCGS # 86541) . Estimated Value $1,350 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,466
Lot 1510		1895 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. Well struck and a blast white coin. Baking white luster, in fact, on satiny surfaces surrounded by smooth, glassy fields on both sides. Makes you head spin to stare at it for any length of time. What's more, a bold strike on the reverse carries over to the obverse in every fine point, here it is clear that the dies were spaced just close enough to encourage metal flow into the centers. So all in all a pristine quality Gem Cameo Proof! Only 880 Proofs issued. Pop 8; 8 finer. Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,303
Lot 1511		1895 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. A nice fully white example. A lock-solid frosty gem Proof 66 with customary luster on the frosted devices and rich mirrored fields on both sides. More than adequately struck for the date, it isn't even half a point shy of full 100% so, since this issue rarely is, the coin gets praise where fullness of design is concerned. Only 880 proofs issued. Pop 12; 16 finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,800. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1512		1896 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Old green holder. A nice white coin with slight cameo effect. The sparkling white frosted devices complement strong unifying mirrors to create a nice ensemble, even though lightly hairlined. Nicely struck as are most 1896 Proofs, this being the pinnacle in terms of high quality proof mintage (PCGS # 6543) . Estimated Value $650 - 700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,668
Lot 1513		1897 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. Untoned white gem. Almost a perfect coin. An elevated degree of blistering white frosted luster springs to life on the bold devices of this magnificent Gem Proof. No yielding either, in the strike, whether at the reverse, or on the imposing obverse design. In fact, much more detail can be found on the Proofs than on a typical business strike example of the date. A rock-solid gem that will delight anyone! Only 731 Proofs made. Pop 4; 3 in PF68 Star Cameo as finest grade by NGC. Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $11,500
Lot 1514		1897 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Well struck and white. A satiny frosted gem with strong fundamental mirrors. Nicely struck, in fact, totally - so sharp and full that special mention is merited along with inclusion in our description of the lovely frosted relief on Liberty and the eagle. Indeed, the strike of the present coin easily rivals that of just about any other Proof Barber half dollar ever made. Only 731 Proofs issued in 1897. Pop 4; 16 finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,800. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1515		1897 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. A nice untoned example. Bright silver color bursts from original surfaces unmarred by toning on this handsome Barber coin from the 1890s. A strong strike as well, making this a desirable Gem Proof specimen. As with the other coins from the same consignment of gems, this too displays a precision strike on the legends and main, well-frosted device, which is unusual except for the very finest specimens. Only 731 proofs struck. Pop 5; 4 in 66Cam; 4 in 67Cam (PCGS # 86544) . Estimated Value $3,600 - 3,900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,278
Lot 1516		1900-S Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nicely toned. Well struck. A few flyspecks in the toning and some faint hairlines on the cheek. There is little to say about the choice surfaces of this coin as they are very frosty. The mint frost is thick and radiates intensely over each side. This is typical of the San Francisco half dollars struck during the time Barber half dollars were current. Pop 12; 6 in 65; 3 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 6488) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1517		1901 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. A wonderful white gem. Full white brilliance enhances the glittering mint bloom that covers the surfaces, giving the coin a shimmering, glowing appearance. The original "all brilliant" device of Liberty is only interrupted by an occasional speck frosty patina. It is easy to see this piece was delivered a hard blow by the special chrome-plated Proof dies, or as some researchers believe, the dies were brand new and carefully set in the equipment to impart the requisite force, all of which imparted their sharpness to the struck planchet. Only 813 proofs struck. Pop 5; 5 finer at NGC. Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1518		1901 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Blast white coin. Has a cameo effect. A first-rate gem with richly permeating "all brilliant" high points that flow across the mirror lakes on both sides with uncommonly fresh surfaces. Satisfactorily struck as well for the Proof quality, indeed, about as excellent as this date is ever found and sure to please even the most discriminating buyer. The coin's designer, Charles Barber, would have loved this one! (Come to think of it, he might have seen this one, since he was still living when it was made; Barber died in 1917.) Only 813 proofs issued. Pop 43; 20 finer. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1519		1901 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Lovely natural toning on both sides. A satiny silver gray specimen with choice brown zephyr-like wisps of iridescence on both sides. Nicely struck for the date, including stars, certainly much finer than many 1901 half dollars you will see if you are hunting for this particular date. Pop 34; 5 in 65; 4 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 6489) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,050. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,840
Lot 1520		1902 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Fully white coin. The surfaces are highly lustrous and each side has a light coating of white patina on the otherwise "all brilliant" devices that swirls and resonates on the eye. A dampened impression is now and then founded from the weak rebound of the dies that made Proofs around this time; however, rather than being halfhearted, this particular coin's design is boldly crisp. Only 777 proofs struck. Has a nice cameo effect. Pop 22; 14 finer. (PCGS # 6549) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1521		1903 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Toned with a gradient of medium gray with reddish brown throughout much of the surface, but dappled lightly on the h igh points with pale dove gray. A few marks on Liberty's cheek. Pop 4; none higher in Mint State at NGC. (PCGS # 6495) . Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1522		1903 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Only 755 proofs minted. A nice white coin. Mint frost like brilliant frosted glass gives this mirror-bright coin much of its life and pizzazz. Judged from an aesthetic standpoint, the 1903 offered in this lot is also possessed of a much finer strike than is typically found for a Proof, even a Gem Proof, some of which have uneven strikes on the stars or portions of the eagle. Pop 37; 20 finer. (PCGS # 6550) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1523		1903 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. A dazzling white gem. A high degree of luster distinguishes the faint satiny silver surfaces from others of the date which are less pulsating even though in technically similar grade. Collectors familiar with the series will recognize the "all brilliant" finish of dates struck in 1901 to 1904. This occurs on the other Barber denominations as well as the gold Proofs of those years. Pop 37, 20 better. (PCGS # 6550) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1524		1904 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. A blazing white gem. A high degree of "all brilliant" luster spins smoothly on the mirror-deep white surfaces of this bright and elusive high-end gem. The strike is crisp in all areas, with no lack of detail anywhere. Superb is the word. Pop 2; 1 in 67 Star, 1 in 68 Star. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900
Lot 1525		1906 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67. Fully white gem. Has a nice cameo effect. An outrageously fresh example of this Barber date, with stark contrast between the mirror fields and significantly frosty devices. Both the peripheries and the central reverse are detailed and close to 100% crisp for their sharpness of strike, which is a forceful reminder in a Proof coin from this decate that it is quality that counts. Only 675 proofs issued. Pop 14; 4 finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1526		1906 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. Brilliant white and worthy of a "Cameo" designation. The wintry blast of white luster is utterly pleasing on this glowing Proof, a coin of uncommon beauty in one of the more popularly collected denominations. The obverse of the Barber half dollar depicts Liberty as a mirror image of the Morgan silver dollar, with a laurel wreath on her head, and her hair tucked up under her cap instead of cascading onto her shoulders as on the silver dollar. Charles Barber adapted the reverse design from the Great Seal of the United States, very similar to what Robert Scot had done 91 years earlier on silver and gold coinage although the workmanship is much more technically proficient. Pop 29; 18 better. (PCGS # 6553) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,025
Lot 1527		1906 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. A white gem. Very presentable. Although completely brilliant, the smooth, satiny devices show off the surrounding mirrors like a prima donna shows off her new costume; the effect on the eye is all-consuming and beautiful. Only a few wispy hairlines encountered, and these require magnification to see. Pop 33; 19 in 66; 10 in 67. (PCGS # 6553) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1528		1907 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. Fully white gem. This conditionally rare Proof is fully brilliant with richly frosted devices. The strike is 100% free of criticism, being sharp in all areas without exception. Deficiency isn't in the cards when it comes to this coin's detail, in fact, outstanding is the word to describe the striking detail. Only 575 proofs struck. Pop 5; 3 in 66Cam; 2 in 67Cam. (PCGS # 86554) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,025
Lot 1529		1907 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Nice white coin. This coin radiates attractive silver color, with no detracting toning or problems. Devices are sharp in all areas, as struck, as desired by collectors, which the grading service has taken into consideration in assigning the grade, as also desired by collectors. Only 575 proofs struck. Pop 4; 10 finer at PCGS in Cameo. (PCGS # 86554) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,950. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,415
Lot 1530		1908 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. Fully white. Among the more carefully preserved and well defined issues in the Barber Proof series, this scintillating Gem breaks the bounds of Proof 65 quality in many ways as it displays uncommon sharpness, plus beautiful cameo frosted highlights. Even the normal glowing fields seem imbued with greater virtue than ever. Both sides are beautiful. Only 545 proofs issued. Rare coin in cameo. Pop 3; 4 finer. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1531		1908 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Rainbow toning on the obverse with familiar "spotlight" effect. The surfaces are highly lustrous and each side has a light coating of satin patina on the devices that swirls and alternates between lighter and darker hues. A very bold strike that you'll enjoy viewing under a magnifying glass for hours on end. Only 545 proofs struck. Pop 27; 40 finer. (PCGS # 6555) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1532		1909 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Fully white coin. A fully struck Gem with a light overlay of ice-berg color. Close examination reveals some light hairlines in the cheek, but the toned accents are what really catch your notice. Destined for a fine collection. Only 950 proofs issued. Pop 2; 11 finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1533		1909 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66. A white gem. A radiant gem of the kind of quality one likes to describe for bidders of this actively collected Barber series. Careening smooth white luster on the devices blends easily with sleek mirrors below, creating the beloved light cameo effect appreciated by collectors. Only 950 proofs issued. Pop 49; 21 finer.

Lot 1534		1909 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Fully white example.with a nice cameo effect. A brilliant, lustrous, and exquisitely preserved Gem Proof with distinctive frosted relief even though not so noted on the grading holder. Again, as is the case with any number of these Gem Proof Barber halves, a collector would be hard put to find a more truly beautiful gem specimen with not even a smidgen of softness on the main devices. 950 proofs issued. Pop 33; 71 finer. (PCGS # 6556) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1535		1909 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely blue and gold toning around the edges. Nice frosty coin. The surfaces are glossy and radiant. Need we remind bidders that a weak impression was left by the strike of the (often dilapidated) dies that usually struck Barber half dollars; however, in the present case, the opposite is true, the coin shows outstanding detail and a clear, bold strike at centers, with only a few of the stars at the margin on the left showing flat tops.Pop 42; 8 in 66. (PCGS # 6516) . Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,220
Lot 1536		1910 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Fully white coin. An truly prestigious gem Proof 65 with fiery mirrors supporting frosted relief on both sides. The whole surface plays host to mint-fresh silvery "color," making for a lovely coin, one that meets the qualifications for the assigned grade without even trying. Only 1,005 proofs issued. Pop 32; 53 finer. Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1537		1911 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. A bright untone gem. Elusive and quite costly as a Germ Proof, this grand-slam example is free of noticeable hairlines and best of all has strong cameo contrast from the snow white frosted devices. The strike, while 100% complete, is still well above par for the issue and both sides reveal glittering mirrors whose "depth" and watery appearance easily qualifies it for the grade. Only 682 proofs issued. Pop 11; 4 in 67 Cameo. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1538		1911 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Only 682 proofs struck. A nice white coin with a cameo effect. An exciting example of a relatively well made date, this untoned coin displaying sharp mirror luster constrasted with frost on the devices. Often, a less than full impact was left by the recoil of the ies that struck this year's coinage; but in a few instances like the present one, the opposite is the case and the coin has a very convincing impression. That, we are sure, is why PCGS grades it Proof 65. Pop 34; 39 finer. (PCGS # 6558) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1539		1911 Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64. Light hint of rainbow toning around the edges of this well toned, sharply struck example. 682 proofs struck. Pop 60; 73 finer at NGC.

Lot 1540		1911 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice light golden toning. It is a long way round the mountain since the halcyon pre-war year 1911, and a lot has happened. But we can cut across to the finish by saying that this handsome fresh MS64 retains its original bloom off the dies with just a smidgen of color. The design areas are all well impressed by the dies, as well, which serves to increase its value in the eyes of the collector (PCGS # 6521) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $920
Lot 1541		1911. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck with light toning on both sides. Struck with systematic exactness throughout including the sometimes weak areas in the center. We feel this is an impressive coin for the MS64 grade, with perhaps a few light hairlines on the cheek precluding a higher number (PCGS # 6521) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,179
Lot 1542		1912 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice white example. Another attractive Barber half dollar. If you love them, and few people are immune to their virtues, then you'll enjoy this creamy white example. Expect to spend much time admiring it once it becomes yours. Pop 62; 11 in 65; 2 in 66.

Lot 1543		1912-D Barber Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. A hint of gold toning on both sides. Choice quality luster, surfaces, and strike detail. Pop 70. (PCGS # 6525) . Estimated Value $700 - 800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1544		1915 Barber Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo. A white gem with a hint of gold toning around the edges. Well detailed for this more difficult P-mint Proof, a low mintage year, with soft golden-brown highlights that add considerably to the appeal of this nearly pristine cameo Gem. Only 450 struck in Proof. For baseball fans in the audience, the 1915 World Series (4-1): Boston Red Sox over Philadelphia Phillies. That's okay, this 1915 "Philly" Proof would make a wonderful consolation prize if Philadelphia is your home town! (PCGS # 86562) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,325
Lot 1545		1916-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely original golden toning on both sides. Well struck and very choice. Fully original and brilliant underneath the warm amber brown and gray patina, with no distracting abrasions present. Struck, as we say, with exactitude by the dies, which is always a compliment to this coin's remarkable design. Very scarce in such superlative condition. Pop 45; 2 in 67. (PCGS # 6567) . Estimated Value $3,700 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,313
Lot 1546		1916-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Nice golden toning. Nice strike. Silver satin surfaces, quite lustrous in appearance under the obviously original and quite appealing toning. Struck with preciseness only now and then found on 1916-S, the first year of issue and by all measures the scarcest branch mint this year. Pop 82; 14 in 66; 1 in67. (PCGS # 6568) . Weinman's Walking Liberty half dollar, highly regarded today, evoked mixed reactions when it made its debut. "At last we have on our coins the great American eagle in a natural, lifelike form," The Numismatist said. "As represented on the half dollar he is, as the small boy would say, 'some bird,' and his size and proportions are in keeping with the greatness and power of the country." However, ornithologist Frank M. Chapman chided, "The artist has made this bird a terrestrial fowl, striding or marching on the ground like a turkey- cock, and with as much dignity as one." Another critic said, "The eagle looks as though it were wearing overalls and marching through hot tar." Still another said, "Liberty in sandals taking giant strides across its face might burn her toes if she should step one millimeter nearer the rising sun." Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.

Lot 1547		1917-D. Mint mark on reverse. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Nicely toned. Well struck. One would be hard pressed to locate a more attractive 1917-D half dollar, even if one were to devote months to the activity. The satin frosted, icy white surfaces under the toning seem like an avalanche of unblemished mint luster. Scarce (PCGS # 6571) . Partway through the calendar year 1917, the mintmarks D and S were transferred to the reverse from the obverse, thereby creating two varieties of each that year. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.

Lot 1548		1917-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. Mint mark on obverse. PCGS graded MS-64. A nice frosty white coin. A splendid MS64 with very choice surfaces and a powerful strike. Pop 100; 34 in 65; 2 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 6572) . The same Treasury Department competition that won Adolph Alexander Weinman a prize and the commission to design the new dime for 1916, also won him the same privilege for the half dollar, March 3, 1916. Weinman's design, replacing Barber's stolid Germanic conception, embodies a Liberty entwined in the American flag. Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,510
Lot 1549		1917-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. Mint mark on obverse. NGC graded MS-64. Mostly white with a hint of light gold toning. Bright fresh surface and color with careful preservation allowing it to still light up the surfaces of this well struck and appealing coin. Mint authorities knew well that the Weinman design of 1916, despite its great artistic merits, no matter how thorough engraver Charles Barber's original attempts to reduce relief, was technically unsatisfactory in a few areas where high points of the design fell opposite one another: Liberty's head and hand, the upper thigh, and the eagle's central body. Just the same, this 1917-S mostly overcomes the weakness in these areas. Pop 123; 15 in 65; 1 in 66; 1 in 67. Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1550		1918-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A hint of light golden toning. Nice eye appeal. If you were expecting the design left by the dies of this 1918-S to be deficient in robustness, take heart, since this is an exceptional coin for that year and mint, and not the usual run-of-the-mill strike. It is, indeed, very bold. Pop 189; 25 in 65; 3 in 66. (PCGS # 6575) . Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1551		1918-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. White example. Very frosty. Struck with not quite the required mathematical precision by the dies, some areas are incomplete by an unsuccessful strike left by the rebound of the dies. Pop 383; 30 in 65; 1 in 66; 1 in 67.

Lot 1552		1918-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice white coin. Well struck. The satin-like luster is almost unimpaired by abrasions of any size, which accounts for the very choice grade on this S-mint Walking Liberty half. Pop 383; 30 in 65; 1 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 6576) .

Lot 1553		1918-S Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Mostly white and well struck. The year 1918 introduced a design modification to the collar on Liberty's dress. It was redesigned and broadened. Also, ray 8 from the sun is now centered between rays 7 & 9. Before it had been out of alignment and closer to ray 7. There is an incuse border at the top edge of the ground line from date to sun and the motto was changed to taller, thinner, more widely spaced letters. Each of these modifications by the mint was an attempt to improve the appearance and striking quality of the coin (PCGS # 6576) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,070
Lot 1554		1919-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. Even dark grey and gold toning on both sides. Very rare date. Struck with systematic exactness throughout excepting the usual weak areas in the center such as Liberty's hand and upper skirt lines. This issue, which every collector quickly learns is almost unavailabe in Mint condition, can be anything from brilliant to deeply toned. Here, we see the careful handling of many years where it may have resided in an old craft paper coin envelope before being submitted for grading. The coin is strictly choice, well within the Mint State 64 classification, and has all the endearing properties that bidders want to see. Pop 59; 4 in 65. (PCGS # 6578) . Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1555		1919-D Liberty Walking Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Quite choice with very few marks for this grade. A trigle soft in the centers. Satiny surfaces just starting to tone. The 1919-D, even in the top condition, is weakly struck and often shows indefinite centers. They are almost always weak in the hand and head area on the obverse, with similar softness in the detail on the eagle's leg and body. Even this example, which has substantial design showing, is not fully struck. Just the same, anyone who collects early Walking Liberty half dollars appreciates the date's rarity. Any collector who hopes to obtain some of the nicest Walkers will want to consider this specimen for his set. It has smooth-flowing satiny silver luster under the toning with only light marks for the Mint State 63 grade. Pop 39; 69 in 64; 10 in 65; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 6578) . Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
