The Walking Liberty half dollar is considered the best designed silver coin in American coinage. The Columbian Exposition half dollar was the first commemorative coin in the history of the U.S. Mint. The 1921 Morgan Dollar was the lastyear the George T. Morgan design was issued. The satisfaction of actually owning a piece of history makes collecting rare U.S. coins truly special. Every coin has traveled a different path throughhistory. As a result, each one is a unique embodiment of the hopes and dreams of our founding fathers. These coins will never be reproduced. Therefore, when they disappear into private collections, it will become difficult - perhaps impossible - to acquire them at any price.
