1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar (50c)

The 1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a key early date in this beloved series, with a modest mintage of just 508,000 pieces. San Francisco issues from this inaugural year are particularly challenging to locate with strong technical merit and aesthetic appeal, making this CAC-approved AU58 example especially desirable.

This coin exhibits impressive qualities that place it at the upper threshold of the AU grade. The surfaces display a pleasing, natural silver-gray patina with subtle golden undertones. Minimal circulation wear is evident primarily on the highest points, while the fields retain significant original luster. The strike is bold for a San Francisco issue, with crisp definition throughout Liberty's gown and the eagle's feather details. The eye appeal is outstanding.
