The 1936-S is somewhat of an underrated date among San Francisco minted Walking Liberty Half Dollars from this year forward. The 1937-S gets more attention but the 1936-S is actually the tougher date. It is common up to and including MS64 and only slightly scarce in MS65 and MS66. MS67 is the finest grade and is scarce but examples are not hard to come across. Overall, the issue is very attractive with strong luster and an average strike.
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.
