Walking Liberty Half Dollar Obverse

The minting of the Walking Liberty Halves marked a drastic change in the US coins.

It began its debut in 1916 and lasted through 1947. This coin has been acclaimed by coin collectors and coin experts as one of America's most beautiful coins every produced by the US Mint.

In 1915, the US Mint director decided to offer a lifetime chance to three sculptors -- Adolph A. Weinman, Albin Polasek, and Herman A. MacNeil. They were to prepare designs for three new US coins!

Adolph A. Weinman came through with flying colors as his design was chosen for the new US silver half dollar!

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar with it's patriotic themes on the obverse and reverse sides met with praise from the whole nation.

His initials (AW) were placed directly under the eagle's tail feathers, and the mint mark is in the eight o'clock position on the eagle side as well.
