Second-Year Walking Liberty Half Dollars

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar—known to many collectors as “Walkers” – is surely one of the most beautiful coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint. The Walking Liberty obverse is so iconic and beloved that it was resurrected in 1986 as the obverse for today’s Silver Eagles! But what we have here are not just any Walkers, but the incredible second-year-of-issue 1917 coins struck at the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia. Far more affordable than the series’ first-year issue, this coin is where many collectors begin.

Featuring Adolph A. Weinman’s classic design of “Walking Liberty,” this half-dollar coin is struck in 12.5 grams of 90% silver. Plus, all of the big silver half dollars available in this offer come in Very Good (VG) condition, a remarkable grade considering each is more than 100 years old and survived circulation through World War I, the Roaring ’20s, the Great Depression and World War II.

Issued from 1916-1947, the Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar series is even more popular today that when it circulated during the first half of the 20th Century. This 1917-P Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar is a great way to start, add to, or complete your own collection of “Walkers.” Don’t let this coin walk away; order yours today!
