1919'D' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. This is a very well struck coin for the date and mint...1919'D' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. This is a very well struck coin for the date and mint despite a touch of softness on Liberty's head and thumb. Most 1919'D' Half Dollars come poorly struck and lack much of the definition found on this coin. The color is generally bright white, with a blush of gold starting to form and a trace of darker toning flecks visible with a magnifier. The surfaces are quite clean and attractive, with a couple of faint hairlines in the right obverse field and two reeding nicks present, one above another below the eagle's beak. Mintages for the 1919'D' were low, and few were saved from the time of issue. America was starting to recover from the disruptions of World War I, and our economy was busily shifting back from war goods to items needed by consumers. An impressive coin for the collector.
