This is a slightly scarcer type coin as gem examples come in smaller amounts than comparable issues. It is readily available in Mint State, including gem grades up to MS67, which gets a bit tough. The finest MS68 is rare as just a handful exist. Warning that this date often comes with a weak and almost mushy strike, which is unusual for Philadelphia Mint Walkers. So it is something to look out for. This issue is known for having strong white luster.
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.
