1944 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Coin 1944 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar This 1944 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a classic example of American coinage, composed of 90% silver. The obverse features the iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman, depicting Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, striding toward the dawn of a new day while carrying branches of laurel and oak. The reverse showcases a powerful heraldic eagle with its wings unfolded, perched upon a mountain crag. As a circulated uncirculated piece from the Philadelphia mint, this coin lacks a mint mark, which is standard for that location. This silver half dollar represents a significant era in United States history, minted during the penultimate year of World War II, making it a prized addition for collectors of vintage silver currency. 1944 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar US Coin Condition: This coin exhibits significant wear consistent with a circulated grade. The fine details on Lady Liberty's gown, the branches, and the eagle's feathers have flattened, and the surfaces show various small scratches, contact marks, and a aged patina. The date and inscriptions remain legible despite the surface wear. This specimen was struck at the Philadelphia Mint as it lacks a mint mark on the reverse. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The Walking Liberty design, created by Adolph A. Weinman, is widely considered one of the most beautiful in American numismatics and was issued during the final years of World War II. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation rather than being a proof. The specific numeric grade is unknown as it is not professionally slabbed.
