Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1939-D 50C MS63 ICG. NGC Census: (126/2281). PCGS Population (336/3731). Mintage: 4,267,800. the Walking Liberty half dollar series began in 1916 and ended in 1947. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, also known for designing the "Mercury" dime, the Walking LIberty half dollar is acclaimed by Numismatic Experts and casual collectors as one of the most beautiful silver coin produced by the U.S. Mint.The obverse of the coin is dramatic and inspiring. Liberty is depicted striding towards a rising sun, cloaked in the American flag, right arm extended, left arm cradling branches of laurel and oak. Arrayed around the edge is the word "LIBERTY", the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is to the right of Miss Liberty. On the reverse is the Eagle, wings spread, standing on a rocky outcropping with a pine tree springing from the edge. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" ring the edge above the Eagle and below is the denomination "HALF DOLLAR." The motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning "Out of Many, One", is to the left of the Eagle's breast.What particularly appeals to most collectors that I've talked with is that the Walking Liberty series is a large coin with high silver content that carries an acclaimed design known for its beauty and grace. And yet it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to put together a nice collection in About Uncirculated or even Brilliant Uncirculated condition.The proof of the lasting appeal of Weinman's Walking Liberty is that the design was selected to appear as the obverse on the $1 Silver Eagle coin issued since 1986. Since its release in 1986 t have been many new collectors become curious about the original design, became enamored of the Walking Liberty half dollar and began to put together collections of this great series for their own.The Walking Liberty half dollar, over a period of 30 years, served the U.S. well as part of its everyday coinage. It saw the country though 2 world wars, a devastating world wide recession, the beginning of the cold war and the first of the baby boomer generation. During the years of its production 50 cents had a large amount of buying power. Today the Walking Liberty series of silver half dollars is widely sought by collectors around the world.
