This is the ultimate type as it is the most common among San Francisco Mint Walking Liberty Half Dollars. Plentiful in all grades except MS67, which is scarcer yet still available. The strike is solid for this issue considering its Mint. It is known for easy access to white gems with blazing luster.

I bright sun, with extended rays is rising from the horizon on the lower left.

Reverse Description
