1916-1947 NGC/PCGS MS-64 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin

1916-1947 NGC/PCGS MS-64 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin

The Walking Liberty coin served as the official U.S. half-dollar from 1916 to 1947, showcasing Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design. 

Crafted from a silver-copper alloy, it remains a cherished piece of American numismatic history, mainly because his iconic imagery was reintroduced in the American Eagle Program, where it became the official obverse of U.S. Silver Eagles.

Today, SD Bullion offers Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coins Coins from varied mintage years, graded MS-64 by either NGC or PCGS, randomly selected from our stocks.

An NGC/PCGS MS-64 coin

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) and PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) are renowned third-party services that appraise and grade coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale. The scale ranks coins from 1 to 70.

For both sevie, MS stands for Mint State, referring to coins issued in the same format as a business circulation coin. 64 is the grade given to coins with average luster, noticeable, light scuff marks, or defects but with attractive overall quality.
