1945-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar Fine/VF
Struck in 90 percent silver at the San Francisco Mint, this 1945 half dollar showcases one of the most celebrated designs in United States coinage history. The coin contains 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal and displays the wear consistent with a Fine to Very Fine grading, preserving the essential details of its historic artwork. The obverse presents the figure of Lady Liberty moving gracefully toward a rising sun, her arm outstretched while she cradles a bundle of branches. The year 1945 is clearly visible at the bottom, alongside the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." On the reverse, a powerful eagle stands perched upon a rugged mountain crag, wings slightly spread as if preparing to launch into flight. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "HALF DOLLAR" frame the majestic bird, with the "S" mint mark indicating its origin from the West Coast facility.
