Walking Liberty Half Dollars are 90% silver U.S. coins produced by the United States Mint, each containing approximately 0.3575 troy ounces of pure silver. This listing covers $1 face value, which equates to two coins. The pieces offered here grade in the XF to AU range, meaning they retain strong detail and present well without the wear associated with circulated grades.
These coins are among the most widely recognized 90% silver issues in American numismatic history. Their combination of silver content, government issuance, and iconic design makes them a natural choice for buyers looking to hold pre-1965 U.S. silver in a familiar, liquid format.
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was introduced in 1916 and struck continuously through 1947. The series was produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints, with mint marks appearing on the obverse during early production years and later moving to the reverse. The design was commissioned as part of a broader effort to elevate the artistic quality of American coinage during the early 20th century.

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was introduced in 1916 and struck continuously through 1947. The series was produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints, with mint marks appearing on the obverse during early production years and later moving to the reverse. The design was commissioned as part of a broader effort to elevate the artistic quality of American coinage during the early 20th century.
The series holds a prominent place in U.S. coinage history, spanning two world wars and the Great Depression. Because these coins circulated widely for decades, examples in XF to AU condition represent pieces that survived with significant detail intact, having seen less handling than their worn counterparts. The Walking Liberty design proved so enduring that it was revived in 1986 for the obverse of the American Silver Eagle, which remains in production today.
The obverse features Lady Liberty striding forward, draped in the American flag with her right hand extended toward the rising sun. The composition conveys motion and optimism in a way that set the design apart from its contemporaries. Sculptor Adolph A. Weinman created the design, and it is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of 20th-century American coin art.
The reverse depicts a majestic eagle perched on a rocky crag with wings partially spread. The eagle's posture and feather detail reflect the high-relief sculptural style that Weinman brought to the series. At XF to AU grades, the fine details across both the obverse drapery and the reverse feathers remain sharp, giving these coins a visual presence that lower-grade examples cannot match.
At $1 face value, this listing provides two half dollar coins with a combined silver weight of approximately 0.715 troy ounces. The fractional format allows for flexibility in how silver is held or transacted, since individual coins represent smaller, divisible units compared to a full ounce bar or round.
Pre-1965 U.S. 90% silver coins are well understood across the dealer and collector communities, and the half dollar format represents the largest denomination in the commonly traded junk silver category. For buyers accumulating silver in smaller increments or looking to hold a portion of their silver in a recognizable, divisible form, the half dollar denomination offers a practical balance between per-unit silver content and ease of handling.
Walking Liberty Half Dollars were struck by the United States Mint to strict government specifications, and each coin in this grade range has maintained enough surface integrity to confirm that detail. The 90% silver, 10% copper alloy composition is consistent across the entire production run from 1916 through 1947, and the weight standard of 12.5 grams per coin has been well documented for over a century.
We verify authenticity, weight, and metal content on all silver we handle. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC further support our ability to assess and authenticate numismatic items when relevant. For coins in the XF to AU grade range, the preservation of detail itself serves as a meaningful indicator of genuine pieces, as heavily worn counterfeits rarely exhibit the sharpness these grades require.
XF, or Extremely Fine, describes coins with light wear on only the highest relief points, while AU, or About Uncirculated, indicates that a coin retains nearly full mint luster with only trace friction from very brief circulation or mishandling. Both grades fall well above typical circulated 90% silver, meaning these pieces carry real visual appeal alongside their silver content. Buyers should expect coins that present cleanly and show meaningful design preservation across both sides.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to prevent additional contact or surface damage during transit. Larger quantities are typically packaged in tubes consistent with standard U.S. half dollar coin handling practices, and bulk orders may ship in sealed bags or boxes depending on quantity. Because these coins come from the secondary market, minor toning, light contact marks, or small handling signs may be present on individual pieces. This is characteristic of coins in this category and does not affect silver content, weight, or the grade designation in any way.
Pricing for 90% silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars is driven primarily by the current spot price of silver, with premiums reflecting the grade range, recognizability of the series, and current demand within the secondary market for pre-1965 U.S. silver. XF to AU examples typically carry a modest premium above melt compared to heavily worn junk silver, reflecting their superior condition and broader appeal to both silver buyers and numismatic collectors.
Our pricing adjusts in real time alongside spot movements, and the bid/ask spread displayed on the product page reflects current market conditions on both the buy and sell side. Premiums on 90% silver can fluctuate based on supply availability and broader demand cycles, particularly during periods of heightened interest in U.S. constitutional silver. Watching the spread over time provides a clearer picture of the true cost of ownership beyond the spot price alone.
Walking Liberty Half Dollars in XF to AU condition are among the most recognizable and widely traded pieces in the 90% silver market. Dealers, collectors, and silver buyers across the country are familiar with these coins, and their government-issued origin, standardized composition, and documented weight standard make them straightforward to evaluate and transact.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell through us using competitive buyback pricing. Understanding the resale side of the equation before making a purchase is something we actively encourage, and the bid pricing displayed on each product page reflects what we are prepared to pay in the current market. For 90% silver in higher grades, that liquidity tends to be consistent and well-supported.
Few pieces in the 90% silver category carry both the silver content and the aesthetic quality that XF to AU Walking Liberties offer. At lower grades, 90% silver trades almost purely as a melt product. At XF to AU, these coins retain enough detail to appeal to a broader range of buyers, including numismatists who value the Weinman design and silver buyers who appreciate the condition premium without paying the prices that uncirculated or certified examples command.
The Walking Liberty series also benefits from its direct visual and historical connection to the American Silver Eagle, the best-selling silver coin in U.S. Mint history. That connection keeps the design relevant and widely recognized across generations of buyers. For anyone accumulating pre-1965 silver with an eye toward quality, the half dollar denomination in this grade range represents one of the more compelling options in the category.
We have been in this business since 2010, and our approach has always been built around transparency rather than pressure. Pricing is displayed in real time, the bid/ask spread is visible on every product page, and we make no attempt to obscure the true cost of a transaction. That level of clarity is something we believe every buyer deserves from the moment they land on a product page.
Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect a commitment to professionalism that goes beyond marketing language. Every product we handle is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity. We support the full transaction cycle, from first purchase through eventual resale, and our customer service team is accessible and knowledgeable when questions arise. The goal is a buying experience that feels straightforward, informed, and worth repeating.
