Title:
Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Description:
Obverse of a United States Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Design shows full-length Lady Liberty walking toward the rising sun (sun and rays at lower left), draped in the American flag, with her right arm extended and branches (laurel/oak) held in her left arm. Legends visible: ”LIBERTY” around rim, ”IN GOD WE TRUST” at right, and date ”1942” at bottom. The coin appears circulated with moderate-to-heavy wear and surface marks; no packaging is shown and no barcode/UPC is visible.
Type details for web reference: Walking Liberty half dollar (1916–1947). Standard composition for 1942 business strikes is 90% silver and 10% copper; reeded edge; standard weight 12.5 g; diameter 30.6 mm. Designer: Adolph Alexander Weinman (often credited as Adolph A. Weinman). 1942 issues were struck at Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S); mint mark would be on the reverse (not shown here), so the exact mint cannot be confirmed from this photo alone. Reported mintages: 1942-P about 47,839,120; 1942-D about 10,973,800; 1942-S about 12,649,000 (vary slightly by reference). Proofs dated 1942 (Philadelphia) had mintage 21,120 (proof-only set mintage), but proof identification requires reverse/strike detail not visible here.
