1943-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 NGC
Struck during the height of the Second World War, this 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Minted at the San Francisco facility, as indicated by the 'S' mint mark, this piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. Out of a total mintage of 13,450,000 for this specific year and mint location, this particular coin has survived in exceptional condition, earning a certified grade of Mint State 64 (MS-65). The obverse design features the iconic walking figure of Liberty, accompanied by the traditional inscriptions 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and the year '1943'. The reverse displays a majestic eagle alongside the national motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the issuing country, 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', with the denomination designated as 'HALF DOLLAR'. Exploring coins of this caliber offers a direct window into the mid-twentieth-century craftsmanship of the San Francisco Mint.
