1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Coin
1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar
This 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar is a classic example of American coinage, composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic design of Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, striding toward the dawn of a new day, while the reverse showcases a powerful heraldic eagle perched upon a mountain crag. This specific coin circulated during the height of World War II and exhibits natural wear consistent with its age, retaining visible details in Liberty's gown and the eagle's plumage. As a Philadelphia mint issue, it carries no mint mark on the reverse. This uncirculated era silver coin is a must-have for collectors of vintage United States currency and wartime history.
1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar
Condition: This coin shows significant signs of heavy wear and surface abrasion. The fine details on Liberty's gown, the eagle's feathers, and the branches are mostly worn away, and the fields exhibit numerous small scratches and contact marks. The overall appearance suggests a circulated grade in the lower range. This 1943 half dollar was minted at the Philadelphia Mint as it lacks a mint mark on the reverse. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Historically, the Walking Liberty series, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, is considered one of the most beautiful designs in American numismatics and was issued during the height of World War II. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for circulation. The coin is currently ungraded and presented in a plastic flip.
