1923-S 50 Cents Silver Walking Liberty VG

Low-Mintage 1923-S Walking Liberty

Thanks to a surging post-war economy, the 1920s weren’t just any decade in American history; they were the Roaring ’20s! It was an era when flappers shamelessly flouted prohibition laws, the Jazz Age was born, and for the first time more people lived in cities than on farms.

Over the course of the decade, the United States Mint struck only about 23 million Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars. By comparison, the Philadelphia Mint along struck twice as many “Walkers” in 1943 alone! The year 1923 added a new wrinkle to the series that was issued from 1916 to 1947 when just one mint, the San Francisco Mint, struck the coin. Now you can add one of these key-date coins to your collection with this 1923-S Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar.

Just 2,178,000 Walkers were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1923, making this low-mintage coin a key date for the series – and an important part of any collection. Each was struck in 90% silver and all the coins in this offer will come in nice Very Good (VG) condition.

An amazing year, 1923 saw the publication of the first issue of Time magazine. Yankee Stadium opened in the Bronx that year and played host to the World Series where the New York Yankees, led by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, defeated the New York Giants in six games to win the first of the club’s 27 world championships. Out west, the famous and iconic Hollywood sign was erected, and actor Lon Chaney stared in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a film that earned him the nickname of The Man of a Thousand Faces. The year also marked the death of President Warren G. Harding, who died of a heart attack just two years into his first term in office.
