The Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin
This coin has always held a special place among collectors. Its allure comes from its stunning design in pure silver, its radiant luster, and its extraordinary rarity. This Half Dollar contains about 1/2 an ounce of pure silver. It was only minted from 1916-1947, making it one of the rarest silver coins in existence. Collectors have continually sought out this coin.
The design of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in all its splendor has, on its obverse, Lady Liberty walking in triumph as the sun comes up over the bright horizon. Echoing this power and freedom, on the reverse of the coin, is the equally formidable Bald Eagle, standing proudly atop a rock that is the very foundation of America itself.
History
This coin is consistently popular at major auctions and remains in high demand. No matter the state of the economy- whether it is booming, declining, or in recession- the demand for these coins continues.
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was designed by the famous sculpturer A. Weinman. The coin was released into circulation in 1916 and quickly became a favorite among people. Its size was small enough to carry in a pocket, yet big enough not to be confused with a quarter. Silver Dollars at that time were huge and heavy, taking up a lot of room. Walking Liberty Half Dollars were favorable because they solved the weight problem while still allowing people to walk around with enough money to purchase both daily necessities and fun frivolities. They became one of the most-used coins in America.
In 1916, you could buy a lot for just one half dollar (50 cents).
ACCORDING TO GOOGLE:
“Common Purchases for 50 Cents in 1916 include:
-
Food & Groceries: Several pounds of coffee, 5-10 cans of Campbell's soup, or a very large bakery bag of rolls.
-
Meals: Multiple breakfasts or lunches at a coffee shop.
-
Entertainment: 5-10 movie theater admissions.
-
Sundries: 5-6 packs of cigarettes or over 15 candy bars.
A 1916 half-dollar was a substantial amount of money, with 1916—a key year for the “Walking Liberty” coin—representing 90% silver.”
*“Superior gem condition” describes a coin that has never been used in circulation or mishandled in any way. It is in its original, mint state, condition, and has no distracting marks, nicks, or scratches. The coin retains its original, brilliant, silver color with exceptional, full, luster. Its uniqueness and overall beauty makes it stand out from every other coin, and makes it museum quality.
