Coin history
The Walking Liberty half dollar
The Walking Liberty half dollar was designed by Adolph Weinman. It shows Liberty striding forward with a flag.
The series ran from 1916 to 1947. Coins from the later years of the run are often counted among the most popular silver halves to collect.
Silver halves from 1964 and earlier contain 90 percent silver, so collectors and dealers often look at a coin's silver content as well as its condition.
