Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1921-S MS63 PCGS CAC

The 1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a highly sought-after semi-key date within the series, struck at the San Francisco Mint during a period of significantly reduced coin production following World War I. With a confirmed mintage of just 548,000 pieces, this issue is among the lowest-mintage business strikes of the Walking Liberty design, making it particularly desirable in Mint State grades. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the obverse features Liberty striding toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and holding laurel and oak branches, symbolizing both peace and strength. The reverse showcases a powerful eagle perched on a rock with wings partially raised, reinforcing themes of resilience and national pride.

This example is graded MS63 by PCGS and further approved with a CAC sticker, indicating that it is solid or high-end for the assigned grade. CAC verification adds an additional layer of market confidence, especially important for key and semi-key dates like the 1921-S, which are often seen with weak strikes or lower overall eye appeal. The coin exhibits original luster with typical contact marks for the grade and may show natural toning from long-term storage. Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, the coin has a diameter of 30.6 mm, a thickness of approximately 2.15 mm, and a denomination of 50 cents. This piece represents both a conditionally scarce and historically significant example of one of America’s most admired coin designs.
