This issue, along with the 1947 Philadelphia, is the last year of issue of the Walking Liberty half dollar. Last year of issues are often saved in quantity and this one certainly was, though most of the 1941 to 1947 issues were saved by the roll as well. This issue is in the middle of the rarity for the 1941 to 1947 Denver issues in MS64 and MS65 condition, but it the rarest of the seven D Mints of the 1940s in MS66 or better condition. The typical mint state specimen has white luster and is well struck.
The best looking coin of the half dollar series. Slowly disappearing in nice specimens. I suggest if you can afford to build a set you do. They are the crown jewels of America. I'm in the process of building my fourth set. MS65 Brown label coins NGC are getting harder to get w each passing year has they disappear in collections

I fell in love with this 50 cent piece design when I first started collecting back in the 60's. Needless to say that as a young boy I could not afford it. Now that I can indulge in my collections I am trying to build an AU/BU Walker set. This coin is just beautiful.

There are many good looking half dollars still available from the 40s. This one stands out from that group!

This coin is a great addition in my collection. It is a beautiful artistic design both the face ( obverse - lady liberty ) and the reverse ( Eagle ), and the coin is in MS grade. I like the luster of the coin, It would be an asset to anyone's collection, It is the last year of the Walking Liberty 50 cent series
