Saved in significant quantities as a first year issue, the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is more plentiful in Mint State than a limited mintage of 608,000 pieces might imply. Demand for this popular date remains strong, however, with the result that high grade examples in MS-64 and MS-65 are scarce from a market availability standpoint. In MS-66 and 66+ grades, the 1916 is very scarce in an absolute sense.
