    The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1944-S MS64 PCGS is a numismatic treasure that captures the essence of American coinage history. Minted during the tumultuous years of World War II, this coin carries both historical significance and numismatic appeal.

    The Walking Liberty Half Dollar series was introduced in 1916, replacing the Barber Half Dollar design. Created by esteemed sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, the coin features a stunning portrayal of Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the dawn of a new day on its obverse. She is draped in the American flag and carries branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing strength and victory.

    The reverse of the coin showcases an eagle perched atop a mountain crag, its wings outstretched in flight. The eagle holds an olive branch, signifying peace, in its talons. Inscriptions including "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "HALF DOLLAR," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" encircle the eagle.

    During World War II, the United States Mint played a vital role in supporting the war effort by producing coinage for circulation. The Walking Liberty Half Dollar series continued to be minted throughout the war, providing Americans with a symbol of patriotism and resilience.

    The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1944-S MS64 PCGS was struck at the San Francisco Mint, one of the main mint facilities of the era. The San Francisco Mint, along with the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, contributed to the overall mintage of the series during this period.
