1930s Walking Liberty Half Dollar - Uncirculated

Silver coinage is hands-down one of the most collectible types of coins that exist today! With modern programs like the Silver Eagle Series growing more and more each year, silver coins have been in more demand than ever. Of all the silver coins created by the United States Mint, none are more iconic to true collectors than the Walking Liberty Half Dollars. These beautiful coins have a design that was so beloved that when they created the Silver Eagle in 1986, they completely re-used this all-American classic!

While at the Coin show in St. Louis we came across a handful of rolls of Walking liberty Half Dollars that we picked up because they were in great condition…but once we opened them up, we were truly shocked! Almost ALL of the walking liberty’s in these rolls were from the 1930’s…making each of them at least 80 years old!

But that is not all, not only were these coins 80+ years old, but they were also in stunning collector’s quality uncirculated condition!

The Walking Liberty was released in 1916 as an integral part of President Roosevelt's coin beautification project. It was his belief that a ‘super power’ nation had to have coinage the world would envy and desire. Boy was he right! The Walking Liberty is regarded as the most beautiful U.S. coin ever released into circulation; the design was so popular the U.S. Mint released it again when the Silver Eagle Dollar was introduced in 1986. Today the silver eagle is the #1 silver dollar in the world.

The Walking Liberty half dollar was struck from 1916 to 1947, with the 1930’s being one of the rarer decades within the series! For comparison's sake: they minted over 83,055,000 Walking Liberty’s during the 1930s…which sounds like a lot, until you take into consideration that in a single year (1943) the U.S. Mint struck upwards of 77,986,000!

Once you take their relative rarity into account, these Uncirculated Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars from the 1930’s are a collector’s dream!
