The 1936 is the highest mintage Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1917 to 1940 and it is the most common issue of that era in all grades. While readily available in mint state and also Gem condition for that matter, the 1936 is not as common as the P-Mints of the 1940s as many more coins were saved by the roll in the 1940s as opposed to the 1930s. The typical mint state 1936 half dollar is very well struck and has outstanding white frosty luster. This coin comes very nice.
