The 1917-S Obverse Mintmark Walking Liberty Half Dollar keeps company with eight others in the Walking Liberty series that had mintages of fewer than one million pieces. Only 952,000 half dollars were struck in 1917 with the mintmark on the obverse, in fact, and for many years this was considered one of the key dates to the series. Today, however, the 1917-S Obverse Mintmark is known to be fairly available in grades from About Uncirculated to MS-63. In MS-64 and MS-65 it remains rare while the MS-66 is exceedingly so and worthy of the strongest bids.
