1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was introduced in 1916 and minted until 1947. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the coin featured a stylistic and strong Miss Liberty with an American flag draped across her shoulders, striding toward the sun as it rises on a new day. This powerful image served as inspiration during the tumultuous times during which the coins were issued, which included World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Today, 100 years after this magnificent coin was introduced, they are among the most collected coins in the world because of their historic significance and theirhigh silver content. These coins are minted in .900 pure silver and the current precious metal market has caused the cost of these coins to rise. American Mint has been able to acquire a limited supply of 1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollars. Each historic coin is minted in 90% pure silver and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
