1934 Maryland Half Dollar NGC MS68

dyann

Both sides of this virtually unmarked coin host well-defined devices. The luster is strong, if slightly diffuse; silver-green patina at the central obverse yields to the mustard-gold and yellow shadings at the borders.

The NGC population is 7 (two of which are designated “Star”) with 1 graded higher.

Listed at $13,200 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 in the NGC price guide.

None Graded Higher – 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS68

dyann

The 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar, struck during the midst of World War II to the extent of more than 47 million pieces, is a common coin which can be found in circulated condition in bags of 90% silver to this day. That said, this issue is far from common in this exceptional state of preservation. The NGC population is just 13 with none graded higher. This one is delicately toned and pristine in its appearance.

Listed at $19,200 in the CDN CPG and $17,000 in the NGC population report.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1880 Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

The years from 1879 through 1890 saw skimpy half dollar mintages at the Philadelphia Mint (and no half dollar mintages elsewhere) as the nation’s coin factories concentrated on increasing the glut of unpopular, largely unused Morgan dollars mandated by cronyism and politics (pardon the redundancy) in the form of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. The Philadelphia Mint struck 8,400 business strikes and 1,355 proofs in 1880 . This example displays color-free surfaces and is tied with five others for the highest graded at NGC.

Listed at $14,400 in the CDN CPG and $13,500 in the NGC price guide.

Flashy, Retail-Friendly 1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS64

Sirhc

While not quite as rare in high grades as its Denver Mint counterpart, the 1919-S remains a popular and challenging issue in Uncirculated condition. That is especially true at the MS64 grade level, where the issue becomes genuinely scarce. This particular example is bright and color-free, with strong eye-appeal. The NGC population is 48 with 32 graded higher. Listed at $13,800 in the CDN CPG and $13,000 in the NGC price guide.

Offered at $13,450

Sirhc

1870 Pattern Half Dollar PCGS PR65+ RB

Sirhc

Judd-993, Pollock-1123, High R.7. The obverse and reverse dies are both the designs for regular-issue half dollars of 1870. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Although these could be considered die trials for a regular issue, there is little doubt that, given the plethora of different die designs and combinations, plain and reeded edges, strikes in copper, aluminum, and silver — a cornucopia of variations — that these patterns were offered in sets to collectors or their providers. This is the sole highest graded PCGS example.

1934-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

After several years of low mintages and intermittent production, Walking Liberty half dollar production increased dramatically in 1934, and production remained stable until the series ended in 1947. Production at the three mints averaged 2.8 million coins per issue from 1916 to 1933, and 10.6 million from 1934 to 1947. That is one of the reasons that some collectors only seek the latter issues, the so-called “short set” of Walking Liberty half dollars. This one is somewhat lighter in brighter in hand, as compared to our images. The NGC population is just 9 (two of which are NGC Star-designated examples) with none higher.

1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Vet Choice, Nearly White

The majority of the Mint State 1921-D half dollar population grades MS63 or MS64, yet these pieces are in high demand because of the scarcity and cost of higher-grade coins. This is a key date in the Walking Liberty half dollar series. Its mintage of only 208,000 pieces is the lowest recorded, and it is the second-scarcest of the three 1921 keys in high grade.

1938 New Rochelle Half Dollar PCGS/CAC SP (Specimen) 67

Sirhc

A Glittering Specimen

Reportedly, a total of 50 “presentation” strikes (now called Specimen strikes by both PCGS and NGC) were produced for distribution to members of the Coinage Committee, the Westchester County Coin Club, and local dignitaries. Struck on proof planchets with polished dies, the pieces resemble true proofs — usually with flashy, brilliant surfaces and mirror-like fields. Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the French Huguenots settlement at New Rochelle, New York, these “Specimen” coins are rare and popular among classic commemorative collectors. The PCGS population is only 11 with 5 higher, the highest grade being a lone MS68 example.

Very Rare! 1797 Draped Bust Half Dollar PCGS XF40

Sirhc

The two-year Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar design type, bearing the date 1796 or 1797, is one of the three keys to completing a collection of early U.S. type coins (the others are the 1796 No Stars and 1808 quarter eagles). The scant mintage of 3,918 pieces and survival of about 300 examples affirm the key status of the 1796-1797 half. Both dates are necessary to complete a date collection of early half dollars, and no type collection can be considered complete without the presence of a Draped Bust, Small Eagle half. It is a major challenge to locate an original specimen in any grade. The PCGS population stands at just 2 with 18 higher. Listed at $145,000 in the PCGS price guide.
