1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar Coin 1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar This 1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar is a classic example of American coinage, featuring the iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman. The obverse depicts Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, striding toward the dawn of a new day, while the reverse showcases a powerful bald eagle perched on a mountain crag with its wings unfolded. Struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin lacks a mint mark. This uncirculated piece retains significant detail in the feathers of the eagle and the folds of Liberty's gown, making it a desirable addition for collectors of mid-century United States currency. 1943 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar US Coin Condition: The coin displays significant wear consistent with a circulated grade. High points on Lady Liberty's breast, skirt lines, and the eagle's breast feathers show flattening. There are visible surface scratches, small rim nicks, and localized dark toning or debris in the recessed areas of the design. The coin is from the Philadelphia Mint as it lacks a mint mark on the reverse. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The historical context of this 1943 issue places it in the middle of World War II, a period when silver coinage was vital to the American economy. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation. The coin is currently ungraded and presented in a plastic flip.
