Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1941 PF66 NGC

The 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Proof is a standout example from the final years of pre-World War II proof coinage, showcasing one of the most celebrated designs in American numismatics. Created by Adolph A. Weinman, the primary design features Lady Liberty striding toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing civil and military honor. The reverse depicts a powerful eagle perched on a rock with wings partially extended, accompanied by a mountain pine sapling, representing resilience and strength. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the denomination “HALF DOLLAR.”

This example is certified NGC PF66, indicating a premium-quality proof with strong strike detail, reflective surfaces, and only minor imperfections visible under magnification. Proof issues from this era are especially desirable due to their limited mintages and superior craftsmanship compared to standard circulation strikes. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, the coin measures approximately 30.6 mm in diameter with a thickness of about 2.15 mm and carries a denomination of fifty cents. With its combination of historical significance, artistic excellence, and high-grade preservation, the 1941 proof Walking Liberty Half Dollar remains a highly sought-after piece among collectors of classic U.S. coinage.
