This date is scarce in all grades and especially rare in higher grades but not nearly as much in comparison to other Walking Liberty Half Dollars. Only 4 other issues are more challenging to locate in circulated condition. Surprisingly, as a gem coin, it does not make the top 10 for rarity in the series. The 1919-S exists up to grades as fine as MS67, which is very rare.
Obverse Description
Liberty portrayed standing on a rock, facing left, with flowing robes and her right hand outstretched with a star-covered drapery flowing behind her. I bright sun, with extended rays is rising from the horizon on the lower left. The word LIBERTY frames the periphery and date appears at the bottom center. and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is in the right field.
Reverse Description
A large eagle perched on a rock, facing left with wings elevated in a defensive posture. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR appear on the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM sits atop a small olive branch left of the eagle. The mintmark is small, and placed below the olive branch near the left rim.
