The Walking Liberty Half Dollar, featuring Lady Liberty striding towards the dawn of a new day on the obverse and an eagle perched on a mountain pine branch on the reverse, is considered one of the most beautiful American coin designs. Its artistic merit is so highly regarded that the obverse design was revived for the American Silver Eagle bullion coin in 1986.
This lot presents an excellent opportunity for both numismatists and precious metal investors. The coins offer historical value, artistic appreciation, and a substantial amount of silver content.
