First issued in 1916, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was part of a redesign initiative during the Roosevelt administration aimed at improving the appearance of U.S. coinage. The series replaced the Barber Half Dollar after it completed its required 25-year production period. Sculpted by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty design quickly earned widespread respect for its thoughtful composition. This 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar boasts an MS66+ certification with bright, frosted eye appeal across the fields. Right now, the 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents the first full year of postwar production for American coinage. The coin features blast-white silver visuals on both sides, with vibrant luster and satin fields, as well as frosted devices and a clear, high-relief detail on the design elements. Crisp lettering and sharply rendered feathers on the eagle round out the impressive overall appearance of this coin.
The 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar, with a mintage of 3,724,000 pieces, marked the first full year of peacetime production following World War II. This date represents a transitional period in American coinage as the nation shifted from wartime manufacturing priorities back to normal economic operations.
The obverse of the 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar portrays Liberty walking toward a rising sun, draped in the American flag. Her right arm is extended forward, while laurel and oak branches are held in her left arm, representing civil and military strength. “LIBERTY” appears to the right of the design, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” inscribed beneath Liberty’s arm. The date is located at the bottom.
The reverse of the 1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar depicts a bald eagle standing on a mountain crag with its wings partially spread. A pine sapling grows from the rocky terrain below the eagle. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOLLAR” frame the design, while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” appears in small lettering near the pine branch.
