First released in 1916, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was introduced as part of the Roosevelt administration’s initiative to redesign and elevate the nation’s coinage. The series replaced the Barber Half Dollar after it fulfilled its 25-year production requirement. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar soon became widely respected for its artistic composition. This 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar offers an impressive MS67 certification with outstanding visual preservation and eye appeal. Right now, the 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar has an impressive Mint State 67 certification. The coin boasts an untoned obverse, with frosted luster, while the reverse is blast white and bears an equally brilliant frost. MS67 coins have no more than three or four minuscule contact marks and no hairlines visible to the naked eye.
The 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck during the first full year of American involvement in World War II, with production occurring at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco to meet the demands of a wartime economy. The significant mintages across all three facilities reflected the increased need for coinage in domestic commerce while silver and other metals were being diverted to military applications.
The obverse of the 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar portrays Liberty moving forward toward a rising sun, symbolizing progress and optimism. She is draped in the American flag, extending her right arm while holding laurel and oak branches in her left arm, representing civil and military honor. “LIBERTY” is inscribed to the right, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” located beneath Liberty’s arm. The date appears at the bottom.
The reverse design of the 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar shows an American eagle standing on a rocky mountain ledge with its wings partially unfurled. A pine sapling grows from the terrain below. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOLLAR” surround the design, while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is positioned in smaller lettering near the pine branch.
