1945-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar VF

World War II-Era Walking Liberty Half Dollar From The Denver Mint

The beautiful Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck from 1916 through 1947, and as its name implies displays a glorious design of Lady Liberty striding from left to right. Designed by famed sculptor and engraver Adolph A. Weinman the image was so revered that it was resurrected in 1986 for the U.S. Silver Eagle—the most widely collected silver coin in the world.

Scarce “Walkers” Struck By The Denver Mint

Unlike today’s Silver Eagle, however, this 1945-dated “Walker” struck at the Denver Mint can be tough to locate. That’s because the Denver Mint struck only 18% of all Walking Liberty Half Dollars! What’s more, this coin was struck during the last year of World War II and following the anxious years of rationing and shortages during the 1940s, many WWII-era half dollars like these were melted for their precious silver or simply worn out in circulation. That means finding any quantity of these 1945-D Walking Liberty Half-Dollars today—more than 75 years after they last rolled off the presses—can be quite a challenge.

A Staple Of American History

Struck in highly pure 90% fine silver, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar is surely one of the most beautiful coins ever struck by the United States Mint. Lady Liberty is shown striding towards the sun, her right hand open and outstretched as if in invitation. In her left arm is a bouquet of olive branches. The coin’s reverse depicts a stylistic eagle standing on a rock ready to take flight. A mountain pine sapling springs from the rock, symbolizing America.
