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. General Notes: The 1934 is the first issue in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series that is considered very common. There is no scarcity of this date through MS66. So low-end gems are plentiful and affordable. MS67 is only slightly scarce and MS68 is truly scarce; although both are relatively easy to locate. This Philadelphia issue is not known for its rarity but rather its beauty; as these coins come with high-quality luster and a very strong strike. PCGS #: 6592 NGC ID: 24RF
