The Walking Liberty Half Dollar ranks among the most artistically celebrated coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint. Minted from 1916 through 1947 in 90% silver, these coins circulated during a period when American coinage carried real precious metal content, a practice that ended in 1965. A $1,000 face value bag delivers 2,000 coins, shipped as two separate $500 face value canvas bags, offering a substantial and historically grounded silver position.
Key Features:
- Purity: 90% silver, 10% copper
- Silver content: Approximately 715 troy oz total silver per $1,000 face value
- Metal: Silver
- Obverse design: Liberty striding forward draped in the American flag, with rays of sunlight and “LIBERTY” arcing overhead, inscribed “IN GOD WE TRUST”
- Reverse design: An eagle perched on a rocky outcrop with wings partly spread, inscribed “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “HALF DOLLAR”
The obverse depicts Liberty in full stride, her figure draped in an American flag billowing behind her as she walks toward a sunrise at the lower left. She carries branches of laurel and oak in her left arm. LIBERTY arcs boldly across the top of the coin, with IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed to the lower right of her figure. The design has long been regarded as one of the finest expressions of Liberty imagery in American coinage.
The reverse presents an eagle perched on a mountain crag, wings raised and partially spread, with a sprig of mountain pine growing beside the rock formation. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the top, E PLURIBUS UNUM appears in smaller text to the right, and HALF DOLLAR is stamped along the bottom rim.
Coins in this bag are circulated, with dates and mint marks varying by availability. No rare dates are guaranteed, as coins are sold strictly for their silver content, not numismatic grade. Each $500 portion ships in its own sealed Hero Bullion canvas drawstring bag, providing secure handling and storage for the full $1,000 face value order.
This bag offers a direct, tangible connection to a defining era of American minting. Order yours today.
