Description
Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1920 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is part of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947 series. With a mintage of 6.4 million, this is a less common issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 51% of the year's 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. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $48 to $883 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 #6580.
