1920 50c

Coin / United States of America / 1920 / Philadelphia / Walking Liberty Halves / 50c

As early Walking Liberty Half Dollars go, the 1920 is known for a strong strike but average luster. The coin is quite common into the Mint State range; at which, the coin, until MS64, is scarce but relatively easy to find. As a gem, MS65, it is a very scarce issue in MS65 and only considered rare in its finest MS66 and MS66 .
