1942-S Walking Liberty Half (50c)

The 1942-S Walking Liberty half dollar is a notable coin minted during the height of World War II. San Francisco's contribution to the effort included producing nearly 12,708,000 half dollars that year, but finding well-struck examples from this mint can be particularly challenging due to the rushing of minting processes under wartime pressures.

This stunning piece graded MS66 by NGC exemplifies a choice gem coin. The surfaces are exceptionally clean with strong, beautiful luster, and only minimal, inconspicuous marks. The strike is particularly noteworthy for a 1942-S, with sharp details visible in Liberty's gown and the eagle’s feathers. This coin's overall eye appeal is top-notch, representing a fantastic addition for those looking to secure a high-grade example from this wartime issuance.
