The 90% Silver Walking Liberty Halves is a great way to jump on the 90% bandwagon without having to commit to a full bag of silver. The 90% Silver Walking Liberty Halves includes 1,0000 half dollars with mixed dates and mint-marks. These halves are in circulated condition but still contain a readable date! The 90% Silver Walking Liberty Halves are very popular among the 90% silver crowd and have recently celebrated their centennial birthday!
Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was produced from 1916-1947. After the barrage of the Barber designs on the dime, quarter, and half dollars, the new Mint Engraver, Robert W. Woolley, discovered it was the law to discontinue a coin series after it has been produced for 25 years. Woolley approached the Commission of Fine Arts to hold a competition for the new design on the half dollar and Weinman became the winner of designing the new dime and half dollar. Although the Walking Liberty design is considered one of the most stunning designs in coin history, the design itself was a struggle to strike. After 31 years in production, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was replaced by the Franklin Half Dollar.
