The 1928-S finds itself the middle of the 3 Walking Liberty Half Dollars issued between 1921 and 1929 in terms of rarity and strength of strike. Also somewhat similar to the other 2 issues, this one comes with great luster. But it is the toning that sets it apart; as most uncirculated examples have some degree of color. It is common up to AU and tougher in that range. MS60-MS65 are all very scarce with MS66 being the only grade considered truly rare.
