1917-D Reverse Walking Liberty Half Dollar (50c)

Original and wonderfully wholesome in a rare and choice grade, this AU58+ CAC reverse-mintmark Denver shows satiny, antique-gold and honey-tan patina with soft olive accents in the recesses and a steady glow of underlying luster. The high points show just a brush of friction, while the fields remain pleasingly clean for the grade. Detail is strong on Liberty’s skirt lines and the eagle’s breast and leg, giving this example notably above-average eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder carrying a well-deserved green bean.
