The 1934-S is the final minor condition rarity in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series. Common up to MS63, this issue is considered slightly scarce at this grade and the two succeeding grades. MS66 is scarce and MS67 is quite rare. The 1934-S’s are very attractive in Mint State with quality luster and a surprisingly solid strike for a San Francisco minted Walker.
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.
