1941-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar — CAC MS65+ — Superb Gem Uncirculated PRICE $250
Offered here is an outstanding 1941-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar, certified and graded MS65+ by CAC Grading. The coveted “Plus” designation places this coin at the upper end of the MS65 grade and reflects its exceptional overall quality, preservation, and eye appeal.
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful silver coin designs ever produced by the United States Mint. Adolph A. Weinman’s classic obverse depicts Liberty confidently striding toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak. On this example, Liberty displays excellent definition, with particularly attractive detail through the gown, outstretched arm, flag, and surrounding design elements.
The surfaces exhibit strong original mint luster and the bright, attractive appearance expected from a high-end Gem Mint State Walking Liberty Half. The fields are remarkably clean for the issue, and the coin presents beautifully when viewed in hand. Only the minor contact marks expected at this lofty grade level are present.
The reverse is equally impressive. The magnificent American eagle is sharply presented atop the mountain pine, with excellent definition visible throughout the feathers, wings, breast, legs, and surrounding design. The reverse fields retain strong luster and contribute substantially to the coin’s overall eye appeal.
Struck at the Denver Mint in 1941, this issue comes from the final years of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar series, which was produced from 1916 through 1947. While circulated examples of later-date Walkers are readily available, coins surviving at the Gem MS65 level and above become increasingly desirable to advanced collectors who demand superior preservation and eye appeal.
The MS65+ grade is especially noteworthy. Rather than simply qualifying as MS65, CAC Grading has awarded this example the “+” designation, recognizing quality that falls toward the higher end of the assigned grade. Coins carrying Plus grades can be particularly appealing to collectors looking for premium-quality examples without necessarily moving to the substantially higher price level that can accompany the next full numerical grade.
This coin is housed in its attractive CAC Grading holder, providing both protection and confidence in the assigned grade. The certification number shown on the holder is 975425364.
With its combination of a popular Denver Mint issue, beautiful Weinman design, strong mint luster, excellent preservation, and the desirable CAC MS65+ certification, this 1941-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar would make an impressive addition to a high-grade Walking Liberty collection, type set, CAC-certified collection, or advanced U.S. silver coin collection.
