Why this coin matters

The 1923-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint with a recorded mintage of 2,178,000 coins — the 22nd-lowest of the 65 circulation-strike issues in the walking liberty half dollar series.

San Francisco alone struck halves in 1923; Philadelphia and Denver sat the year out entirely.

A full collector's note for this issue — survival, strike character, and what to check before buying — is on the writing schedule; the figures above are the permanent record.
