1917 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Good
The 1917 Walking Liberty half dollar represents an iconic era in United States coinage, struck in 90% silver with a precious metal content of 0.3575 troy ounces. This Philadelphia Mint issue showcases one of the most celebrated designs in American numismatic history, created by the renowned artist Adolph Weinman. On the obverse, a graceful figure of Lady Liberty strides confidently toward a rising sun, her shoulders draped in the stars and stripes. She carries a bundle of oak and pine branches, symbolizing civil and military strength. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year "1917" are clearly visible on this side, framing her powerful stride. The reverse displays a magnificent eagle perched upon a mountain crag, wings partially spread as if preparing to take flight. A pine sapling grows from the rock, representing the nation's budding power. The legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR" encircle the majestic bird, alongside the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
