Vintage Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar

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!

A while back at the Atlanta ANA Show, we grabbed a few bags of Walking liberty Half Dollars, but with everything going on lately, we only just were able to sort through the bags and take-a-look at what was inside. When we opened up them up, were stunned to see that a vast majority of the coins were still in collectors quality circulated 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 at all three main U.S. Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
