The mintage for the 1928-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar was a tad under 2 million pieces, with demand lacking during this decade for additional half dollars, the mints seemed to slack off on this denomination. Perhaps enough were struck during the initial few years that more were simply not needed other than sporadic emissions from the San Francisco Mint, and a single issue of the 1929-D from the Denver Mint saw out the half dollar needs until 1934. Thus, most of these dates are scarce to quite rare in Gem grades, as few were saved from these limited issues.
