1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar BU
In 1941, the San Francisco Mint struck a half dollar that remains celebrated for its exceptional artistic design. Composed of 90 percent silver, this fifty-cent piece contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal. Preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, it offers modern observers a clear look at the intricate details envisioned by its creator, Adolph Weinman. The obverse side of the coin presents a powerful depiction of Lady Liberty moving gracefully toward a rising sun. She cradles a bundle of branches in her arm, symbolizing strength and peace. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year "1941" are clearly visible on this face, framing the iconic figure. On the reverse, a majestic eagle is perched upon a rugged rock formation, wings slightly spread as if preparing to launch into the sky. The traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" accompanies the national designation "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the face value "HALF DOLLAR" on this side, completing a design that stands as a high point in American numismatic art.
