1935-D 50c

Coin / United States of America / 50c / Walking Liberty Halves / 1935 / Denver

Extremely common in circulated grades, if not just scrap silver, this issue remains common in Mint State up to MS65 and MS66 where there is a substantial level of scarcity. High-quality luster is easy to locate for this issue. Major warning that the strikes for 1935-D’s are weak, especially on Liberty’s head, making one of these coins with a detailed head nearly impossible to find.
