1946 Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1946 Walking Liberty half dollar stands as a testament to mid-century American coinage design. Struck in 90 percent silver, this fifty-cent piece contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen has been graded Mint State 64 (MS-64), preserving the fine details of its celebrated artwork in remarkable condition. Created by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, the coin features a striking obverse design of Lady Liberty walking gracefully toward a rising sun. She cradles a bundle of branches in her arm, symbolizing strength and peace. The reverse displays a powerful eagle perched on a mountain crag, wings slightly unfolded as if preparing to take flight. Because this coin was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, it does not display a mint mark. The elegant inscriptions, including the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" on the reverse, complement the balanced composition, making this 1946 issue a captivating piece of numismatic artistry to study and appreciate.
