This resulted in a huge mintage of 1917(P) halves and slightly more than half as many at the Philadelphia MInt during 1918. This issue was quite well made overall, and even gems are fairly plentiful. The broad borders of 1916-17 half dollars narrowed just a bit for 1918, a reflection of the new obverse hub with sharpened features to the upper portion of Liberty's flag gown. Not addressed in this change was the poor definition of the flag's red stripes (indicated by closely spaced lines), and this would not be fixed until 1921.
