This year 1933 denotes the start of the middle date Walkers, which were produced only in San Francisco, as the final issue in which Walking Liberty Half Dollars were worth more than melt at very low grades. The issue is common up to Mint State with varying levels of scarcity until MS67, which is the only rare grade. The issue is known for above average strike and luster.
