Description
The 1920 (D) Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a half dollar produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947 series. With a mintage of 1.6 million, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 12% 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. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $53 to $6.9K 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 #6581.
