🔥 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar – PCGS MS64 – Rattler Holder – CAC Approved 💎
Up for grabs is a certified 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, graded MS64 by PCGS and housed in an early “Rattler” generation holder. San Francisco issues from the mid-1940s are known for softer strikes, yet this example shows strong detail, nice original surfaces, and the assurance of CAC approval, confirming that it meets the highest standards within its grade.
This is an ideal coin for collectors who value originality, early PCGS history, and CAC quality confirmation more than blast luster — an honest, well-preserved coin in a desirable vintage holder.
🔥 Coin Highlights:
PCGS Certified MS64 – Trusted third-party grading and secure holder
Early “Rattler” Holder – Collectible old-green-label generation, popular among advanced collectors
CAC Approved – Independently verified for quality within the grade
Original Surfaces – Clean fields with minimal marks for the issue
Holder Condition – Excellent for its age, showing only light wear typical of early PCGS slabs
🔥 Why this coin stands out:
The 1946-S often comes with weak strikes and heavy chatter from the minting process. This example shows a better-than-average strike, strong separation in Liberty’s gown lines, and solid feather detail on the eagle. Its presence in an early PCGS “Rattler” holder with a CAC approval adds both numismatic history and collector desirability.
🪙 Historical Note:
Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the final years of the Walking Liberty series, the 1946-S marks the end of an era in classic American silver coinage. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar remains one of the most celebrated designs in U.S. history — a piece that bridges artistry, history, and investment appeal.
