Very few survivors of the 8,808-piece 1939 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Proof issue are preserved in Proof-68 condition or higher. A bit more obtainable than the Proof 1938, the Proof 1939 is usually offered in grades that range from Proof-64 through Proof-67. Proof-68s are moderately rare, but enough are around that buying opportunities for such coins usually come along several times each year. The same, however, cannot be said for higher-graded specimens.

The 1939 circulation strike half dollar is easily found in all grades up through MS-66. MS-67 examples are scarce, and MS-68 coins are decidedly rare comprising less that 1% of the PCGS-certified population.
