1945-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 NGC
In 1945, the Denver Mint struck a silver half dollar that remains one of the most celebrated designs in American coinage. This half dollar, composed of 0.3575 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver, represents a high point of mid-century United States coining artistry. This particular specimen is certified in Mint State 64, preserving its original luster and details from the year World War II ended. The obverse of the coin features a graceful depiction of Lady Liberty as she strides toward a rising sun. In her arms, she cradles branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing both civic peace and strength. The reverse presents a powerful image of an American eagle perched confidently on a mountain crag, wings slightly raised. Designed by the renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, this coin features the Denver Mint's "D" mint mark, identifying its origin at the Colorado facility.
