1942-D Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Coin
1942-D Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar
This 1942-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a classic United States circulation coin struck in 90% silver. The obverse features the iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman, depicting Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, walking toward the dawn of a new day. The reverse showcases a majestic bald eagle perched on a mountain crag with a mountain pine sapling. This specific coin carries the D mint mark on the reverse, indicating it was produced at the Denver Mint. As a piece of mid-WWII era coinage, it represents a significant time in American history and remains one of the most beloved designs in numismatics. The coin shows honest wear from circulation but retains clear details in the date, lettering, and primary design elements.
1942-D Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar US Coin
Condition: This coin exhibits moderate wear consistent with a circulated grade, likely in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine range. The high points of Liberty's bodice and the eagle's breast show softening, but major design elements and lines in the gown remain visible. There is some minor surface spotting and light toning present. The mint mark is a clear 'D' for Denver. This is a 90% silver business strike produced during World War II, a period when silver coinage was essential for the American economy. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty half dollar is widely considered one of the most beautiful designs in the history of United States coinage. This specific example remains raw and has not been professionally graded by a third-party service.
