The 1946-S is the most common San Francisco Mint Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Obviously, a significany quantity of uncirculated rolls was saved in the year of issue. The typical specimen is relatively well struck. There are many frosty Gems available.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
