The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was introduced in 1916 as part of an effort by the Roosevelt administration to enhance the appearance of America’s circulating coinage. It replaced the Barber Half Dollar after that series completed its mandated 25-year minting period. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar soon became one of the most recognizable and well-regarded coin designs in U.S. history. This 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a refined specimen that showcases the precise minting and balanced design of American coinage in the 1940s. Right now, the 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is available in Mint State 65 condition. This coin shows strong surface quality and exacting details, with a crisp strike and even luster across both sides of the coin. The average MS65 coin exhibits small, scattered contact marks or two larger marks. One or two small patches of hairlines are also possible.
The 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint, had a substantial mintage of 8,098,000 pieces as American industry ramped up production in anticipation of potential wartime needs. This coin circulated widely during World War II and represents the final year of peacetime production before the United States entered the global conflict.
The obverse of the 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar depicts Liberty stepping confidently toward the sunrise, symbolizing forward movement and renewal. Draped in the American flag, she reaches outward with her right arm while holding laurel and oak branches in her left hand, representing peace and strength. “LIBERTY” appears to the right of the image, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” placed below Liberty’s arm. The date is positioned at the bottom of the coin.
The reverse side of the 1941-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar features an American eagle perched on a rocky mountain crag with its wings partially extended. A pine sapling grows from the stone below, adding depth to the scene. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOLLAR” frame the design, while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” appears in small lettering near the pine branch.
