1939-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1939 Walking Liberty half dollar stands as a classic representative of twentieth-century American silver coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this fifty-cent piece carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark, denoting its West Coast origin. It was part of a total mintage of 2,552,000 pieces produced at the facility that year. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen has been professionally graded as Mint State 64 (MS-64), indicating a high level of preservation with its original design details and luster remaining remarkably intact. The obverse features the iconic walking figure of Liberty alongside the traditional inscription 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and the 1939 date. The reverse displays the proud eagle design accompanied by the national motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the denomination 'HALF DOLLAR'.
