PCGS has graded 1,421 as MS65 with 819 finer. A slowly recovering economy during the Great Depression encouraged a higher mintage (9,162,000) at the Philadelphia Mint over the previous year. The 1935 Walker is abundant across all grades, due mostly to the practice of saving rolls of new coins that became popular at the time.

David Hall writes, “The 1935 is one of the more common Walking Liberty half dollars of the 1930s, due undoubtedly to its relatively high mintage and the fact that at the time Philadelphia issues were saved more than the Denver and San Francisco Mint issues …. The typical 1935 has white frosty luster and this coin definitely comes nice.”
