1934-D Half Dollar MS Values
Details
This is a very common date in most grades. In fact, beneath XF, the numismatic value is lost and it becomes strictly about the silver value. This date remains common all the way up to the gem grades. MS65 and MS66 are only slightly scarce with only a handful of MS67’s actually being quite rare. Actually one of the scarcest 30’s date in gem condition. The problem with this issue is the strike of Liberty’s head, which is very weak in mostly all cases but the luster is very strong.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $31.26
Obverse: 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: 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.
