1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar — Denver Mint
1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar — Denver Mint
Own an exceptional piece of early 20th-century American numismatic history with this 1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint shortly after the conclusion of World War I.
Designed by renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was introduced in 1916 and remained in production through 1947. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful designs in American coinage, the series represents liberty, national pride, and the optimism of a changing nation.
The obverse features Lady Liberty walking toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing civil and military glory. The reverse displays a powerful bald eagle perched upon a rocky outcrop, with a mountain pine sapling growing beside it.
The 1919-D issue is particularly desirable among collectors due to its relatively low original mintage and the scarcity of surviving examples in higher grades. Many coins from this period circulated extensively, making well-preserved specimens especially sought after.
Struck in 90% silver, the 1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar is an excellent addition to a collection of historic United States silver coins, early Walking Liberty issues, or Denver Mint coinage.
