1945 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Coin
1945 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Philadelphia Mint
This 1945 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar is composed of 90% silver and represents one of the most iconic designs in United States coinage history. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's graceful depiction of Lady Liberty striding toward the sun, draped in the American flag, while the reverse showcases a powerful bald eagle perched upon a mountain crag. This particular uncirculated example lacks a mint mark, signifying it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the final year of World War II. The coin displays a natural aged patina and visible luster across the feathers and drapery, making it a staple for any collector of historic American silver currency.

The mint mark is not present on the reverse, indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Historically, the Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman is considered one of the most beautiful American coin designs, minted during the final year of World War II. This is a business strike type, and the coin is currently ungraded.
