1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-63 PCGS
The 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar stands as a classic example of mid-century American silver coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during a pivotal year in global history, this fifty-cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3575 troy ounces of the precious metal. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, the coin does not bear a mint mark, distinguishing it from those produced at branch mints. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the coin features a highly celebrated artistic composition. The obverse showcases a graceful figure of Liberty moving toward the dawn of a new day, her shoulders draped in the American flag as she cradles branches of pine and oak. On the reverse, a powerful eagle is depicted resting on a mountain crag, wings partially spread. This specific specimen has been professionally certified in MS-63 condition, preserving the intricate details of Weinman's artwork.
