1941–1945 Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS65 w/Mercanti Signature

Take A Walk With A Silver Half Dollar Of World War II

Today, we know the Walking Liberty design as the obverse of the American Eagle Silver Dollar. But when it was first struck the image was used for the Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar, struck in 90% fine silver. The coin available here struck between 1941 and 1945 (date our choice), making it an important piece of U.S. World War II history. But following the anxious years of rationing and shortages during the 1940s, many war-era half dollars like these were melted for their precious silver or simply worn out in circulation. That means finding any quantity of these 1941–1945-dated Walking Liberty Half-Dollars today—more than 75 years after they last rolled off the presses—can be quite a challenge.
