1945-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 PCGS
Struck in the final year of the Second World War, this 1945 half dollar from the San Francisco Mint represents a classic era of American silver coinage. Composed of 90 percent silver, which equates to 0.3575 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin showcases one of the most celebrated designs in United States numismatic history. This particular specimen has survived in remarkable condition, graded as Mint State 64. The obverse displays Adolph Weinman's famous depiction of Lady Liberty, draped in the American flag as she strides gracefully toward a rising sun. In her arms, she cradles a bundle of oak and pine branches, symbolizing civil and military strength. The reverse presents a powerful image of an eagle perched upon a mountain crag, wings partially unfolded and ready to launch into the sky. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the national motto, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the denomination, HALF DOLLAR.
