This 1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar is an MS66 specimen with above-average quality for its surface and mint luster. No more than three or four minor contact marks will be present, with hairlines only visible with the aid of magnification. This coin has a brilliant, silver-white surface area with cartwheel luster that is prominent across the fields and designs on the coin. The relief on the design elements is well-defined, and you’ll notice a warm, though slight, peripheral toning.

The obverse of 1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollars comes with Weinman’s iconic Lady Liberty design. The image shows Liberty’s full-length figure in left-profile relief as she walks toward the sun on the horizon. The American flag is draped around her figure as she carries the branches of oak and laurel in her left hand. 

On the reverse of 1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coins, you will find an American bald eagle. The eagle is perched on a rocky outcrop with its wings slightly raised as its talons clutch a branch. 

This 1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar comes from an important point in the history of American coinage. In 1916, the 19th-century Barber Coinage was being phased out by the US Mint, with refreshed, modern designs introduced on the dime, quarter, and half dollar. This particular piece also comes from the first decade of production at the Denver Mint, one of the youngest branches of the US Mint.
