Created during an era of great change in America, this collection of half-dollar coins represents the aesthetic splendor and enduring value of .900 fine silver. Each coin carries a nominal value of fifty cents, yet its true worth extends far beyond its face. Beyond precious metal content, these coins are treasured for their historical significance and iconic design, making them a valuable addition to any portfolio.

Key features of these collectibles include:

  • Featuring Adolph A. Weinman’s renowned design

The coin's design, introduced in 1916 and struck until 1947, remains a celebrated example of numismatic art. Adolph A. Weinman crafted an image representing liberty, personified by Lady Liberty walking toward the sun, her outstretched arm and American flag-draped robe symbolizing hope and progress. The reverse side showcases the strength and majesty of an American eagle perched on a rock, its wings raised, ready for flight. This compelling artwork has captured the imaginations of collectors and historians alike for over a century.

These coins were born from the U.S. Mint, historically one of the most respected mints in the world. Composed of 90% silver, they offer more than just beauty; they provide durability and weight that speaks to American craftsmanship and economic strength. While the coins can't claim pristine modern qualities like high relief or unique finishes, their authenticity offers sincere historical authenticity that new minting cannot replicate.

Within the coin collecting market, the Walking Liberty half dollars stand out. Their distinct design, rooted in American symbolism, makes them particularly appealing, representing the artistry and ethos of an era and making them favorites among numismatists. Rich in heritage, silver half dollars are also an excellent introduction for new collectors and a wise addition to seasoned investors seeking diversification through rare U.S. coinage.

These coins come unencumbered by elaborate packaging, encouraging enthusiasts to engage closely with each piece's history and design. The absence of bulky containers makes them ideal for those who prioritize value and history over modern presentation. Appreciate their authenticity in hand, and consider how these pieces can complement your other holdings.
