1937-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar VG/VF
Struck during the mid-century era, this 1937 half dollar is a notable example of United States coinage. Minted in San Francisco, the coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of the precious metal. It represents a classic era of American numismatic design, displaying a level of wear consistent with a Very Good to Very Fine grade. The obverse side presents a graceful depiction of Lady Liberty as she strides toward a rising sun, cradling a bundle of branches in her arm. This side also bears the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST alongside the 1937 date. On the reverse, an eagle is shown perched upon a rugged stone outcrop, wings slightly spread as if preparing for flight. The reverse inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, the San Francisco 'S' mint mark, and the denomination HALF DOLLAR.
