- Virtually Unimprovable Proof 1942 Half Dollar
1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Proof-68+ (PCGS). CAC.
A magnificent Ultra Gem offering spectacular eye appeal and surface quality. The pearly silver patina is accented by rich tones of reddish-orange iridescence in isolated peripheral areas. Sharply struck with strong reflectivity in the fields and virtually no signs of handling even when viewed under a glass.
The Proof 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar is an historic issue struck at the dawn of the United States official entry into World War II. It represents not only the final Proof issue of the Walking Liberty series, but the last Proof half dollar struck until 1950 when the Franklin series was already underway. 21,120 Proof halves were struck in 1942, though only about half of them survive in grades of Proof-65 or higher. The present PCGS/CAC Proof-68+ is among the most exceptional known and is deserving of the strongest bids.
PCGS Population: 11; with a single Proof-69 finer.
CAC Stickered Population: 51; 0. The former total includes coins certified both Proof-68 and Proof-68+.
PCGS# 6642. NGC ID: 27V9.
