About This Coin
The 2016 Centennial Gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a United States cent from the Centennial Series 2016 series — the only year of issue. In 2016, coins were struck at the West Point Mint with a combined mintage of 65,512. This represents the lowest annual mintage in the entire series, below the series median of 91,752. 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. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck in 99.99% gold, weighing 15.55 grams, 27 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. A notable auction result reached $1.8K in SP70 grade at eBay. Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman.
