This particular 1941-S coin was minted at the San Francisco Mint, denoted by the "S" mintmark, and is part of the later years in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar series, which was produced from 1916 to 1947. The 1941-S is considered a highly collectible year, as it was produced in relatively limited quantities compared to other years, making it a great addition for collectors of both Walking Liberty Half Dollars and San Francisco-minted coins.Condition - CH-GEM BU (Choice Gem Brilliant Uncirculated): This 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is graded as Choice Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (CH-GEM BU), meaning it is in pristine, uncirculated condition with sharp details and vibrant luster. The coin has been handled with care, ensuring it remains free from any significant blemishes, scratches, or marks that can often be found on coins that have circulated for years.Obverse: The obverse design of Liberty, walking gracefully toward a rising sun, is struck with exceptional clarity. The intricate details in the folds of Liberty's gown, the flowing lines of her hair, and the delicate stars above are all crisp and beautifully defined. The contrast between the coin’s fields and raised details creates a stunning, eye-catching effect, with the coin’s natural luster enhancing its visual appeal.Reverse: On the reverse, the eagle is boldly struck, with each feather and talon sharply defined. The olive branch in its talons is finely detailed, and the sun rays in the background radiate outwards, giving the entire design a sense of movement and vitality. The overall strike quality of the reverse is impeccable, showcasing the superior minting process of the San Francisco Mint. The coin maintains its original mint luster, with no major imperfections. The surfaces show only the faintest trace of natural toning from being carefully stored, adding a touch of character and uniqueness to this beautiful coin.Silver Content and Weight: The 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar contains 90% silver and weighs 12.5 grams, with 0.3617 troy ounces of pure silver.
