The Denver Mint produced just over a million of these coins, which is more than its Philadelphia Mint, yet this date is more challenging to find. Circulated examples are scarcer than later Walker Issues. Uncirculated pieces and especially gem examples are accessible but far from common. Mint State examples of this date are known to have a very strong strike and luster. Up to and including MS65 the value progresses quite gradually. MS66 is considered scarce and the few MS67’s are much rarer.
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. The mint mark appears below the motto.
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.
