1916-1947 NGC MS-63 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin - Original Bag Fragment

1916-1947 NGC MS-63 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin - Original Bag Fragment

The Walking Liberty coin circulated in the United States as the official half-dollar from 1916 to 1947. 

Crafted from a silver copper alloy, it showcased Adolph A. Weinman’s famous Walking Liberty design. Years later, this design was revived for the American Eagle Program, becoming the official obverse of U.S. Silver Eagles. 

These particular half-dollar coins were sourced from a section of an original shipping bag and then authenticated by the NGC.

Today, SD Bullion offers Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coins graded by NGC as MS-63 samples. According to your inventory availability, they may have varied mintages from 1916 to 1947, randomly taken from our stocks.

An NGC MS-63 coin
