The 1943-D is a type coin for the Denver Mint Issues in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series that as a whole is slightly scarcer than its Philadelphia Mint counterparts. It is readily available in Mint State including gem grades up to MS67, which can be a bit tough. The finest MS68 is rare as only a handful exist. This issue is known to be gorgeous in every sense with incredibly sharp strikes and fantastic luster.
