Walking Liberty Half Dollar – 1944 – Circulated Condition

This 1944 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is an early‑issue example of one of America’s most iconic silver coin designs. Struck in 90% silver, the coin features the celebrated depiction of Lady Liberty striding toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak—symbols of civil and military glory.

The reverse displays a powerful American eagle perched on a rocky outcrop, wings partially spread, with the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The 1944 issue marks the first year of the Walking Liberty series, making it historically significant and consistently sought after by collectors.

This piece shows honest quality wear for its age, with all visible major design elements and a pleasing, original appearance. Even in circulated grades, early Walkers like this remain desirable for their artistry, precious metal, and place in U.S. numismatic history.

A solid addition for collectors building a date set, type set, or early‑20th‑century silver collection.
