Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947

About This Series

Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty design is widely considered one of the most beautiful in American coinage. Liberty strides toward the rising sun on the obverse, while a bald eagle perches on a rocky crag on the reverse. The 1916-S, 1917-S obverse mintmark, and 1921-S are key dates. The design was revived in 1986 for the American Silver Eagle.
