.
PCGS graded MS-66 PQ.
CAC APPROVED.
Lavishly
toned in orange, lemon-yellow, aquamarine, rose-red, and
green-gray shades. The strike is well above average, and we
cannot find any marks or spots worthy of mention. An outstand-
ingly preserved example of this early Walking Liberty issue.
Pop 89; 4 finer

PCGS # 6569

Estimated Value .................................................... $3,000-UP

1917-D. Reverse
.
PCGS graded MS-62
. A vibrant, moder-
ately toned specimen that, at first glance, appears finer. A touch
of softness and the toning arrangement probably limit the
grade. (

1917-S. Mintmark on Reverse
.
PCGS graded MS-65
.
The adopted dies for Weinman's Walking Liberty series
were in some ways inferior to their pattern predecessors.
This is because many of the production coins are weakly
struck on Liberty's cap, facial details, and often the branch
hand is blurred, as are the striations representing red
stripes on the flag, many stars, and most of eagle's breast
and leg feathers. Really sharp strikes occur only on occa-
sion.
A hint of gold toning shows on both sides, perhaps a bit
deeper at the borders. A sparkling Gem example of the fin-
est order for the grade. The luster is unbeatable, smooth
and satin-like, the strike is nearly full, with splendid detail,
being quite crisp in most places including Liberty's split
thumb and the hair under the cap. A conditionally scarce
example of this revised type with the mintmark moved from
its prominent obverse placement to a more obscure loca-
tion near the reverse rim.
Pop 49; 10 finer, 8 in 66, 2 in
66+.

1921-S
.
PCGS graded VF-35.
CAC APPROVED.
A highly
collectible mid-grade example of this key date that is not often
seen as a VF. Steel-gray surfaces with some darker charcoal
accents in the recesses and even wear overall. (
PCGS # 6585

Estimated Value ..............................................$1,500 - 1,600

1929-S
.
NGC graded MS-65
. The gripping frosty-white luster
complements surfaces that show slight accents of tan, deepen-
ing on the reverse to lilac near the rims. Both the bold strike
and the rich mint luster separate this Gem from typical exam-
ples of this Depression-era issue.
Pop 133; 37 finer
. Special
NGC label "The Renaissance Era".

NGC graded Proof 67
. Fully struck with brilliant,
perfectly preserved surfaces that display glassy fields and
snow-white devices. As expected of the assigned grade,
both sides appear to be virtually pristine. From a low mint-
age of only 3,901 proofs, this Superb Gem specimen is one
of 76 pieces graded Proof-67 by NGC, with just 6 finer.
Estimated Value ........................................ $7,000 - 7,500
