1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar Tough Key Date PCGS VF20 - Superb Original
When you talk about original surfaces or original patina, this coin should be the text book example . This coin (and the other small grouping, 1916 1919, and 1919-D) are all as perfectly preserved a choice F to VF coin as I have personally owned for Walking Liberty Halves. I HATE to sell them, but unfortunately, there are bigger opportunities on the horizon, so my loss is your gain.Popular 1st year issue and a wonderful way to lead off your opening coin in your collection of circulated Walking Liberty Halves.
PCGS Price Guide is $500, and the last 3 coins all sold for between $456 and $545. Opening bid is admittedly on the higher side, but this coin is Premium Quality and for me, it's simply not worth giving it up for less. If someone agrees and wants to pay up for it, I am offering it for sale just once in this auction,. If it doesn't sell, i wont be listing it again for the foreseeable future. The 16-S in problem free VF grades is quite rare as the PCGS pops report backup. There are a grand total of a whopping 168 coins at PCGS graded VF or XF. That is NOT many... For comparison, there are more than 65,000 1880-S Morgan Dollars graded MS64
