A key condition rarity in the Walking Liberty series, the 1919-S is notoriously difficult to locate with both strong luster and a well-executed strike. This example stands out for its unusually fresh appearance, offering bright frosty brilliance and smooth original surfaces that immediately catch the eye. Unlike many seen for the issue, the strike is impressively bold, with solid definition in Liberty’s flowing skirt lines and throughout the reverse eagle’s wings and breast feathers. The surfaces show only minimal handling for the grade, preserving the coin’s crisp, near-Gem presentation.
