1943-D WALKING LIBERTY SILVER HALF DOLLAR coin 1943-D Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar This 1943-D Walking Liberty silver half dollar features the iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman, depicting Lady Liberty draped in the American flag walking toward the dawn of a new day. Struck at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the D mint mark on the reverse, this coin is composed of 90% silver. The reverse showcases a powerful eagle perched upon a mountain crag with a pine branch, symbolizing strength and fearlessness. This mid-war era silver coin shows circulated details and is protected in a black foam ring plastic capsule, making it a staple addition for collectors of classic American silver coinage. 1943-D Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar US Coin Condition: This coin exhibits significant circulated wear consistent with a grade of Very Good to Fine. The high points of Liberty’s figure, specifically the breasts and knees, show substantial flattening, and the lines in the sun's rays and the folds of the gown are partially worn away. On the reverse, the eagle's breast feathers lack distinct detail, and the wing tips show smoothing. The surfaces display a natural aged patina with some minor contact marks. The mint mark 'D' for Denver is clearly visible on the reverse. The metal content is 90% silver and 10% copper. Historically, this coin was minted during World War II, a period when silver was utilized for currency while other metals like nickel and copper were conserved for the war effort. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation rather than as a proof. No professional third-party grading is present; the coin is housed in a protective plastic capsule.
