1946 Walking Liberty Half Dollar – Philadelphia Mint (Circulated)
$20.19 USD
The 1946 Walking Liberty Half Dollar embodies one of the most iconic designs in U.S. coinage. Created by Adolph A. Weinman, the obverse features Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak — symbols of peace and strength.
The reverse showcases a majestic bald eagle perched on a mountain crag, wings partially spread, representing America’s resilience and independence. This example, minted in Philadelphia, shows honest circulation wear with natural silver toning and visible design details across Liberty’s flowing gown and the eagle’s feathers.
