1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). OGH.

One of the Two Finest PCGS-Certified 1916-S Half Dollars 1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). OGH. Offered here is one of the two finest 1916-S Walking Liberty half dollars currently known to PCGS. A PCGS MS-67 with cert ID #6071173 was included in Heritage's May 2004 sale of the Nicholas Collection. CAC has stickered an MS-67, but it is unknown to us which PCGS insert number is associated with that record. The single-finest certified MS-67 coin at NGC realized $39,040 in our August 2026 sale of offerings from the Mack C. Chase Collection. The unique PCGS MS-66 example offered here is a lovely golden-tinged Gem with sharp to full strike detail throughout the design. A full endowment of billowy mint luster flows over expertly preserved surfaces that approach numismatic perfection. Although the mintage for the 1916-S is only 100,000 coins fewer than that of the 1916 (508,000 vs. 608,000 pieces), those issued from the San Francisco Mint are far more elusive in Mint State grades; undoubtedly fewer 1916-S half dollars were set aside at the time of issue by contemporary Americans looking for keepsakes of the newly introduced Walking Liberty design. With most Uncirculated survivors grading no finer than MS-64, this high Condition Census example is eagerly awaiting inclusion in one of the finest Walking Liberty half dollar sets currently being formed. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. PCGS Population: 1; 1 finer (MS-67). PCGS# 6568. NGC ID: 24PN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
