1946 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Coin
1946 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar
This 1946 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar is a classic example of American coinage, featuring the iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman. Struck in 90% silver, the obverse depicts Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, striding toward the dawn of a new day, while the reverse showcases a majestic bald eagle perched upon a mountain crag. This particular coin from the Philadelphia mint lacks a mint mark and shows honest wear from circulation, retaining visible details in Liberty's gown and the eagle's plumage. As a late-issue piece in the series, which ended in 1947, it represents a significant era in United States numismatic history and is a staple for collectors of vintage silver currency.
