1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar G–VG

First-Year Walking Liberty Half Dollar

Here is the very first year of issue Walking Liberty Half Dollar, with its design exemplifying the spirit and pride of America. In fact, that design depicting Miss Liberty walking toward the sun, striding eastward toward war-torn Europe wearing a starry cape and carrying a bundle of oak and laurel branches representing military and civilian honors, is so “American” that it was chosen for the American Silver Eagle bullion series introduced in 1986.

One Of America’s Most Beautiful Coin Designs

This 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck more than 106 years ago at the Denver Mint, which struck the fewest “Walkers” in the series from 1916-1947—just 18% of the total! Considered by many to feature America’s most beautiful coin design, it was minted in highly pure 90% fine silver. Plus, each coin available here will arrive in beautiful Good to Very Good (G–VG) condition, so the design and mint mark are clearly visible.

A Staple Of American History

Designed by German-born American sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, these coins are a staple of American history and are even more popular today than when they circulated during the first half of the 20th Century. Through the ravages of time, however, many Walking Liberty Half-Dollars wore out in circulation or were thrown into the melting pots for their precious silver. What remains today is likely only a very small fraction of the total mintage. Don’t let this coin walk away from you; secure one for your collection today!
