	1916-D	MS65	PCGS 44394843	Gem	$3250	First Year Denver Design Issue, Pretty Golden-Rose Shades, Gem Original. The 1916 Philadelphia and Denver struck Walking Liberty halves have comparable rarity in the higher Mint State grades. I could not resist adding this notable gem Denver example to inventory. A well frosted example with radiant luster and the expected cartwheels given a moderate golden patina that turns to rose closer to the peripheries. If luster and superb eye appeal are your cup of tea, this new offering might warrant a closer look. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	1917	MS64	PCGS 1607844	Choice	$550	Second Year Issue, White Satiny Luster, Well Struck, Near-Gem. A strong representative of the Walking Liberty half dollar early dates (1916-1929), this 1917 Philadelphia strike presents white satiny luster with violet-rose shades on the reverse. The overall strike is bold with vertical skirt lines present and a completely defined thumb. Taken in trade at the 2024 Manchester NH coin show and seeking a new home. The PCGS price guide currently lists $800 as market value, therefore the GFRC offer price is most attractive for a quick sale. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) old green holder.
	1921-D	VG10	PCGS 6616202015	Choice	$700	Key Date, Natural Coin Gray, Choice Surfaces. The 1921-D and 1921-S are the unquestioned key dates within the Walking Liberty half dollar series. The 1921-D sports the lowest mintage of the series and is even rare in the lower circulated grades. GFRC located this perfectly original example at the Summer Baltimore show for inventory. One can never have enough 1921-D example in inventory, right? Surfaces are toned a natural coin gray. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1934-S	MS63	PCGS 12860733	Choice	$1300	Choice Original, Sheffield Collection.. The run of "rare" San Francisco dates in Mint State concludes with the 1934-S issue. This date is nearly as rare as the 1833-S which is also offered by the Sheffield consignor in our Two Fine Gentlemen auction event. Pastel yellow-blue, aquamarine, and gold are overlaid on frosted surfaces with the obverse toning being denser. Regardless, the frosted radiance is substantial under angled lighting while the cartwheels are equally vibrant. Strike is complete with fully formed vertical skirt lines, outreached hand, and Liberty's cap. With a 10x, a few scattered micro-ticks are noted but of no consequence. Only 11 examples have been CAC approved at the offer grade with 173 stickered in all grades. The CDN CAC guide is $1230 as reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder with CAC approval.

Truly original and undipped examples are scarce in full gem based on CAC approval rates. CAC has approved 103 Denver strikes at the MS65 grade. This example screams originality with its brilliant frosted luster and faint copper-gold toning. Bright light exposure releases frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels. Strike is nearly complete with just a touch of definition weakness at the thumb. Surfaces are pristine with some die polished lines seen during 10x review. A classic gem that warranted close scrutiny. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6602
	1938	MS66+	NGC 6604045003	Gem	$850	Gem Original, Cumberland County Collection.. This gorgeous 1938 half offers brilliant frosted luster and swirling cartwheels under a bright light. A fully struck specimen with deeply impress skirt lines, a high relief outreached hand and head that will please the most stringent strike fanatics.

	1938-D	MS66+	NGC 6819810005	Gem	$2635	A Gem "Luster Bomb", Lakeland Collection. Consignor Pricing Reduction. If assembling a top end Walking Liberty half dollar collection, this 1938-D example need immediately consideration. Simply stated, this is a gem "luster bomb" that drips frosted radiance under lighting. The strike is 100% complete with deeply impressed vertical skirt lines and a complete right facing hand. Under a 10x, the obverse fields are striated with that polishing also seen on the reverse but to a lessor degree. I've got to give this lot a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. The CAC price guide indicates $2700 at the certified grade. Our offer price for an MS66+ is more than fair. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1939	PR67+	PCGS 38971245	Gem	$2150	Gem Original Proof, Cumberland County Collection.. The "CCC" proof Walker procession continues with this immaculate gem 1939 example. Starting in 1939, proofs were more frequently saved and properly preserved leading to the quality level seen here. Surfaces are pristine behind a thin layer of toning that results in a lower contrast white appearance. Strike is also complete but not as sharp as the early "CCC" proof dates. For reference, the CDN CAC guide is $1240 jumping to $8250 in full "67". Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6639.
	1939-S	MS67	NGC 6819623003	Gem	$1650	Gem Original, Cumberland County Collection.. This 1939-S "CCC" lot is yet another piece to secure the GFRC "luster bomb" designation given its deep sparkling radiance that is entirely undisturbed on both sides. Cartwheels are equally notable and enticing. The surfaces are fully pristine as expected for this grade level. Strike is bond with the thumb partially defined. An exceptional lot that perfectly balanced across GFRC's evaluation criteria. The CDN CAC suggests $1580 as fair value, but this lot warrants a strong reserve for it greatness. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6608.
	1940	PR65	PCGS 49742467	Gem	HOLD $675	Gem Original Proof, Sharply Reflective, Lightly Toned. 1940 Walking Liberty half dollar mintage increased to 11,279 rendering this date as a type coin or for those who are attempting a date set from 1936 through 1942. Interestingly, PCGS has yet to certify a single example as Cameo or Deep Cameo, probably due to how the dies were basined without highly mirrored fields. This FUN show purchase is typical of the issue with moderate mirrors and the appearance of a faint white toning. The fields are pristine consistent with the certified grade along with a complete strike including deeply impressed vertical skirt lines and fully defined lower right facing hand details. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.

Thick frosted luster appears when placed under angled lighting along with vibrant cartwheels. Strike is hammered with all device details deeply impressed including the topmost skirt lines and thumb. Finally, the surfaces are pristine without tiny abrasions during 10x review. The certified MS67+ grade and CAC approval place this lot at the condition census as CAC has yet to approve a single MS68. Pricing a coin at this quality level is challenging. The PCGS price guide number at MS67+ is $2750 with auction records consistent with the reserve price. A superb gem for those building the finest registry sets. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6619
