1944-S 50 Cent Walking Liberty NGC MS65

WW II-Era Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars

The year after the U.S. entered World War II in December 1941, a minimum wage job paid just 30 cents an hour. In other words, money was tight. But jingling in pay packets and pocket change across the country was one big silver coin with real buying power: the Walking Liberty Half Dollar!

Now considered to be one of most beautiful U.S. coins ever made, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was the largest circulating 90% silver coin struck between 1941 and 1945. But following those anxious years of rationing and shortages, many were melted for their precious silver or simply wore out in circulation. So finding any quantity of Walking Liberty Half Dollars today can be a challenge.

The classic American design is so beautiful--and so beloved--that the U.S. Mint chose it to reappear on every U.S. Silver Eagle struck since 1986. It’s definitely a coin that no U.S. coin collection (or Silver Eagle collection) should be without!

Now you can secure this historic U.S. silver coin certified by NGC in Mint State-65 (MS65) condition, struck in 1944!
