1934-D 50c

Coin / United States of America / 1934 / Denver / Walking Liberty Halves / 50c

This is a very common date in most grades. In fact, beneath XF, the numismatic value is lost and it becomes strictly about the silver value. This date remains common all the way up to the gem grades. MS65 and MS66 are only slightly scarce with only a handful of MS67’s actually being quite rare. Actually one of the scarcest 30’s date in gem condition. The problem with this issue is the strike of Liberty’s head, which is very weak in mostly all cases but the luster is very strong.
