Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1942-S MS65 NGC

The Walking Liberty design has become very common in US currency, but at the one point in time, it was a very different story. In fact, most depictions of Liberty used to entail just her head, leaving out her entire body. When Adolph A. Weinman was asked to create a new design for the half dollar, he surprised everyone with a new and updated design. Instead of Liberty stiffly posing for a portrait, she is roaming free wearing only a light-weight robe. She holds olive branches as she invites warriors to join her in battle. This elevated version of Liberty is still considered one of the most stunning renditions of all time. The reverse pictures an eagle, perched with its wings outstretched.

The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1942-S MS65 NGC has earned a top notch grade by a top notch grading company. Since the Walking Liberty Half Dollars are 90% silver, they will tarnish over time but NGC already put that into consideration when placing this coin in an airtight holder. NGC is admired for its astounding grading techniques and professional packaging.
