Description

The 1918 (D) Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947 collection. With a mintage of 3.9 million, this is a less common issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 19% of total production. The obverse features Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory and the reverse displays an eagle perched on a mountain crag with wings partially unfurled, a sapling of mountain pine growing beside it. Minted during and after World War I, as America emerged as a global power and experienced the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $49 to $3.1K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 12.5 grams, 30 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6575.
