Description

The 1941 (S) Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a half dollar produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947 series. Total mintage reached 8.1 million. 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, while the reverse displays an eagle perched on a mountain crag with wings partially unfurled, a sapling of mountain pine growing beside it. Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 12.5 grams, 30 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6613. Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty Half Dollar is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful American coin designs ever produced. Short-set collectors focus on 1941-1947. Key dates include the 1916-S, 1919-D, 1921, and 1921-D. Full designation (Full Strike) specimens command significant premiums across the series.
