1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, PCGS MS67

This exceptional example of the 1946-S half dollar represents one of the finest survivors of San Francisco's final year of Walking Liberty coinage production. Struck from 90% silver and 10% copper, this iconic design by Adolph Alexander Weinman remains one of America's most beloved circulating issues. The coin exhibits the characteristic sharp strike quality typical of San Francisco Mint output from this period, with crisp details throughout.

The PCGS MS67 grade reflects outstanding preservation with vibrant luster and minimal imperfections. Among an impressive population of just 249 pieces certified by PCGS, only 14 examples have achieved higher grades, underscoring the rarity of coins in this caliber. The 1946-S, while enjoying the largest mintage of San Francisco's Walking Liberty production at 3,724,000 pieces, saw significant quantities preserved in uncirculated condition, yet finding examples with the frosty Gem characteristics and eye appeal of this specimen remains challenging.
