1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar (50c) OGH
PCGS
MS66
CAC
The 1946-S Walking Liberty half dollar is notable for being the penultimate issue of the series from the San Francisco Mint. This year marked the culmination of the Walking Liberty design before it transitioned to the Franklin Half series in 1948. Despite a higher mintage compared to earlier dates, finding this coin in high grades like MS66 is challenging due to the quality of strikes typically seen from the S-Mint during this period.
This coin, graded MS66 by PCGS and adorned with a CAC sticker, is a stellar example of a late-date Walker housed in an early-date PCGS slab. The luster is vibrant, illuminating the intricate details of Liberty's gown and the eagle's feathers. Both obverse and reverse surfaces are clean, with minimal contact marks and eye-catching originality. A superbly preserved 1946-S that demands attention in any high-quality collection.
