1947-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1947-D Walking Liberty half dollar represents a beautiful moment in United States coinage, struck in 90 percent silver at the Denver Mint. Containing 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal, this fifty-cent piece is a remarkable specimen from the final year of this beloved design series. On the obverse, Adolph Weinman's celebrated design depicts Lady Liberty walking gracefully toward a rising sun. She carries a bundle of branches, symbolizing strength and peace, while the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed in the field behind her. This iconic image captured the spirit of a nation looking toward the future. The reverse displays a powerful eagle perched atop a mountain crag, its wings unfurled as it prepares for flight. The traditional Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is clearly visible alongside the eagle. This particular coin has been certified in Mint State 64 (MS-64), preserving the intricate details of Weinman's artistry from the mid twentieth century.
