1928-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar Good/VG
The 1928-S Walking Liberty half dollar represents a fascinating era of United States coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this fifty-cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of the precious metal. Even in a worn, circulated state of Good to Very Good, the enduring beauty of its artwork remains highly recognizable. On the obverse, Adolph Weinman's celebrated design depicts Lady Liberty moving gracefully toward a rising sun. She carries a bundle of branches, symbolizing peace, while her cloak billows behind her. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year "1928" are placed alongside her figure. The reverse displays a powerful eagle perched upon a rugged mountain crag, prepared to launch into flight. This side features the national mottos and identification, including "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR."
