The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1916-S F12 ANACS represents a significant piece of American numismatic history, being one of the earliest examples of the iconic Walking Liberty design. Introduced in 1916, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar quickly gained popularity among collectors and enthusiasts for its stunning design and patriotic symbolism.
Designed by renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty design features a striking depiction of Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the dawn of a new day, draped in the folds of the American flag. Weinman's design captured the spirit of freedom and optimism that characterized America during this period, making it a timeless symbol of the nation's ideals.
The 1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar was minted at the San Francisco Mint, one of the key facilities responsible for producing coinage for circulation in the United States. The San Francisco Mint played a crucial role in minting coins to support the growing economy of the American West and contributed significantly to the nation's coinage production during the early 20th century.
In 1916, the San Francisco Mint produced a total of 508,000 Walking Liberty Half Dollars, making it one of the lower mintage years for this coin series. The relatively low mintage figures for the 1916-S issue add to its historical significance and desirability among collectors.
The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1916-S F12 ANACS is graded F12 by the American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS), indicating Fine condition. Coins in Fine condition typically exhibit moderate wear but still retain most of their original design details. Despite the signs of circulation, the coin remains visually appealing and retains its overall integrity.
Despite its modest grade, the Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1916-S F12 ANACS holds considerable historical and numismatic value. It serves as a tangible reminder of America's coinage history and the enduring legacy of the Walking Liberty design, which continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
