1938 Walking Liberty Half Dollar PR-65 PCGS
1938 Walking Liberty Half Dollar PR-65 PCGS
The 1938 Walking Liberty half dollar stands as a remarkable example of American coinage from the mid-century era. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this fifty-cent piece belongs to a highly exclusive group, with a total mintage of just 8,152 pieces. Because it does not bear a mint mark, it is easily identified as a product of the historic Philadelphia facility. This specific coin has been certified in Proof 65 (PR-65) condition, highlighting its exceptional preservation and the sharp, deliberate details characteristic of a proof striking. Composed of 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal, giving it a substantial weight and a brilliant, classic luster. On the obverse, the design features the iconic walking figure of Liberty, accompanied by the traditional motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date 1938 at the base. The reverse showcases a proud eagle alongside the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the denomination. This proof coin offers a window into the artistic and technical standards of United States minting during the late 1930s.
