- Low Mintage 1921 Half Dollar
1921 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS).
A confidently struck near-Gem whose visual display is improved by an essentially brilliant finish over satiny mint luster. Only the slightest hint of pale golden color can be seen on each side. Although this issue normally comes well struck, this coin is sharper than most with nearly complete detail to Liberty's head and left hand. One of the key dates in the series.
This prized rarity has always been in high demand, as the low mintage of 246,000 pieces pointed early attention to these, but not until most had already entered circulation. Demand for new half dollars was low that year as the world economy adjusted sharply reflecting the changes from war driven production to peacetime activities as World War I had concluded a few years prior. Of those 1921 half dollars saved, not many retain the Choice or Gem level surfaces desired by many collectors so pricing pressure has always been rather high when a high grade example does appear on the market. This is an exceptional MS-64 of this key date issue that is destined for a high end cabinet or Registry Set.
Provenance: From our March 2020 Auction, lot 1484.
