      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. The mintmark is small, and placed below the olive branch near the left rim.
      General Notes: The 1920-S is common in the lowest of grades becoming scarce as circulated grades rise. Somewhat of a condition rarity that is comparable to the 1920-D in Mint State but not as rare as the 1919-D. It is considered a key date in gem condition. Interestingly enough, 40 such gem condition examples of them were found in a small 1970’s hoard. The luster and strike are not very strong for the issue; but, some nice golden toning is commonly found.
