1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar VG-10 NGC
The 1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage, particularly due to its exceptionally low mintage of just 548,000 pieces. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin contains 0.3617 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver. Because so few were produced in 1921, surviving examples are highly prized by those who study the history of American currency. Designed by Adolph Weinman, the coin features a striking obverse depicting Lady Liberty walking toward the rising sun while cradling a bundle of branches. The words "IN GOD WE TRUST" are inscribed on this side. On the reverse, an eagle stands perched on a mountain crag, its wings spread as if preparing for flight. The reverse inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR", alongside the "S" mint mark indicating its San Francisco origin.
