The Walking Liberty Half Dollar debuted in 1916 as part of a broader effort by the Roosevelt administration to enhance the design quality of American coinage. It replaced the Barber Half Dollar after the earlier design completed its mandatory 25-year production period. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar quickly became recognized for its strong visual symbolism. This 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar showcases proof visuals with a solid PF64 certification. Right now, the 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is in PF64 condition. This proof specimen has bright, appealing surfaces with blast-white silver on both sides. The obverse features a strong, frosted luster with a vivid, satin sheen on the reverse. Devices on both sides are sharply rendered, with lively, balanced brilliance across the designs.
In 1942, the United States Mint and the American economy as a whole shifted onto wartime footing. As America was pulled deeper into World War II, coinage from the US Mint was impacted in varying ways. The most obvious was the loss of proof coinage as the war dragged on. Many programs would see no proof issues again until 1950.
The obverse of the 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar shows Liberty moving forward toward the dawn, draped in the American flag. Her right arm is extended, while laurel and oak branches are carried in her left arm to symbolize peace and military strength. “LIBERTY” appears to the right of the image, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” placed beneath Liberty’s arm. The date is located at the bottom.
The reverse of the 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar features an American eagle perched on a mountain crag with its wings partially unfurled. A pine sapling grows from the rocky terrain below. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOLLAR” surround the design, while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” appears in small lettering near the pine branch.
