The 1936-D is the second most common 1930s Walking Liberty Half Dollar from the Denver Mint. Numismatic value does not come into play until the XF range. It is very common from that point to MS64 and remains relatively common in MS65 and MS66. MS67 is the finest grade and is fairly scarce but pieces see the market from time to time. Overall, the issue is very attractive with strong strikes and luster.
