1940-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 PCGS
The 1940 Walking Liberty half dollar is a stunning example of United States silver coinage from the era preceding the nation's entry into World War II. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this fifty-cent piece carries the 'S' mint mark, denoting its West Coast origin. A total of 4,550,000 of these half dollars were produced at the San Francisco facility that year, making it a key representative of pre-war American minting. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. This specific specimen is preserved in an exceptional state of conservation, graded Mint State 64 (MS-64). At this Choice Mint State grade, the intricate details of the iconic walking figure and the reverse eagle design remain remarkably crisp, offering a vivid window into the artistic achievements of mid-twentieth-century coinage.
