The 1917-S on obverse is a key date among Walking Liberty Half Dollars that, many years ago, was the most rare and valuable prior to modern population reports, which show the 1919-D and 1921’s to be far scarcer. It is never a common date no matter the grade. Scarcity begins at the XF range and rarity in Mint State grades through MS66. The finest known grade is 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. 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.
