This is the final year of issue out of the Denver Mint for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series and the least common of the short set from this Mint. The 1947-D is only somewhat scarce in MS67 with high-end examples bringing premium value. Mostly found with sharply struck white surfaces full of luster in Mint State.
