The reverse variation from San Francisco in 1917, is the least scarce of all 4 mintmarked Walking Liberty Half Dollars from this year. The mintage is the highest of the bunch, at well over 5 million, helping to keep all circulated grades common and affordable. Mint State grades are slightly scarce up to and including MS64. MS65 is rare and MS66’s and 67’s are very rare.
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.
