Walking Liberty Half Dollars

The Walking Liberty Half series was introduced in 1916 and was minted until 1947. The design by Adolph A. Weinman is recognized as one of the most beautiful renditions of Liberty in the history of American coinage. The obverse design continues to be used on contemporary silver bullion coins issued by the United States Mint.


Walking Liberty Halves were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. The lowest mintage issues of the series were the 1921 and 1921-D. These two coins command premiums in all grades and are particularly difficult to find in mint state condition.

As one of the most appreciated designs, the series has been a long time favorite of collectors. Besides a few key dates, the series remains approachable for most collectors. Later issues can be found in high mint state grades, even up to PCGS or NGC MS67.

Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollars were minted from 1936 to 1942 inclusive. These issues, particularly the earlier dates have low mintages. This short run of proof coins is another way to approach the series.
