硬币介绍
The year 1943 saw San Francisco's highest production for the entire Walking Liberty series, edging out its previous record from 1918 during World War I. This issue is thus common in all grades through MS-66, though most examples will have average to poor strikes. A sharply struck 1943-S half dollar is a rarity that should command a premium in any Mint State grade. Obverse die doubling is common on this issue, as a result of a doubled working hub that produced numerous dies. None of these carry any premium, though they are interesting to collect. 1943-S half dollars are found with either the Trumpet-Tail S mintmark or the Large, Serif-Style S. There is little or no difference in rarity between these varieties. This is one of many dates in the series that can be found lacking the designer's monogrammed "AW" on the reverse. Worn or clashed dies were often repolished, losing such shallow features in the process. While interesting, there is little premium for this oddity.阅读更多
