90% Silver Walking Liberty Halves | $1 Face Value | .715 Troy Ounces

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is considered by many to be the most beautiful half dollar coin ever minted. Its designer, Adolph A. Weinman, was a former student of the great sculptor Augustus Saint-Gauden, and his winning design for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar ushered in a new and vital era in American coinage. The obverse of the coin, from which it takes its name, depicts Lady Liberty striding confidently toward a rising sun, draped in the security of the American flag, and carrying laurel and oak branches that symbolize American civic and military power. The reverse of the coin features a magnificent bald eagle, perched upon a mountain crag and spreading its wings in a display of power, above a sapling of mountain pine, symbolic of a young America growing strong from a cleft in the rock.
Walking Liberty Half Dollars were minted from 1917 through 1947 in Philadelphia (no mintmark), San Francisco (“S” mintmark), and Denver (“D”), are composed of .90% silver yielding .36169 troy ounces of pure silver per coin, and measure 30.6mm in diameter.
