One of the most famous coins from American circulation history is the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Introduced by the United States Mint in 1916, the coins feature one of the greatest images ever display on an American coin.

Coin Highlights:

  • Struck between 1916 and 1947!
  • Contains .36169 Troy oz of 90% silver content.
  • Individual coins bear a face value of $.50 (USD) backed by the federal government.
  • Obverse includes the image of Liberty walking toward the sun.
  • Reverse features the bald eagle on a mountaintop perch.
  • Designed by Adolph A. Weinman.
  • Circulated condition.

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar debuted in 1916 along with two other new designs on US currency. The so-called Barber Coinage that had been in circulation since 1892, designed by US Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, was in the process of being replaced in 1916. The half-dollar, quarter, and dime were all replaced at the same time.

Adolph A. Weinman’s design won out as the new image for the half-dollar coin, and he even had a separate one accepted for the dime. The Walking Liberty image depicts the figure of Liberty as she walks forward toward a setting sun holding branches in one hand and the American flag draped over her shoulder.

The obverse of the 90% Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coins features that design from Weinman. Engravings on the face include “Liberty,” the national motto of the United States “In God We Trust,” and the year of issue for the individual coin.

On the reverse of the Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin is Weinman’s design of an American bald eagle. This image captures the bald eagle as it begins to rise up from its perch on a branch set on a mountaintop. Engravings include “United States of America,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and “Half-Dollar.”

These coins feature 90% silver content. All circulation silver coins in the United States, issued prior to 1964, are considered 90% silver coins. The coins have an alloy mixture of 90% silver and 10% copper.

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
