1947-P Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC/PCGS MS65
Last Year Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Considered by many to feature America’s most beautiful coin design, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar exemplifies American spirit and pride, with Miss Liberty walking toward the sun on the obverse and a bold eagle with outspread wings on the reverse. In fact, the design also graces the American Silver Eagle Dollar, the best-selling coin on the planet. This 1947 Walking Liberty is from the last year of issue, making this year, 2022, the 75th anniversary of the last time this classic half-dollar rolled off the presses. This coin also comes from the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia!
A Staple Of American History
Designed by German-born American sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, these coins were affectionately known as “Walkers.” They 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.
