The 1943-S is a semi-key for the short set of Walkers. It is accessible in Mint State up to and including MS66. But MS67’s are very scarce. Major warning that the strikes for this date are very weak with rare strongly struck pieces bringing premiums. Liberty’s left hand is almost certain to be gone completely. Although quality white luster and attractive toning are not problems for this date.
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.
