1940-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-65 PCGS
The 1940 Walking Liberty half dollar stands as a classic example of mid-century American 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. Out of an original mintage of 4,550,000, this particular specimen has survived in exceptional condition, graded as a superb Mint State 65. Designed by Adolph Weinman, the coin features a striking obverse that depicts Lady Liberty walking gracefully toward a rising sun. In her arms, she cradles a bundle of branches, symbolizing strength and peace. The reverse of the coin presents a powerful image of an eagle perched upon a rugged rock, wings partially spread as it prepares to take flight.
