The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1933-S AU50 Details ANACS is a fascinating artifact from a pivotal period in American history. Minted during the Great Depression, this coin reflects the economic challenges and resilience of the nation during that time.
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar series was introduced in 1916 and quickly became one of the most beloved coin designs in American numismatic history. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the coin features an iconic depiction of Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the dawn of a new day, symbolizing freedom and progress.
The San Francisco Mint, indicated by the "S" mintmark on the obverse of the coin, struck the Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1933-S. The San Francisco Mint played a crucial role in producing coinage during the early 20th century, particularly during the era of the Great Depression when demand for circulating coinage was high.
In 1933, the San Francisco Mint produced a total of 1,786,000 Walking Liberty Half Dollars. While this mintage figure may seem relatively high, it is important to consider the economic conditions of the time. The Great Depression had a significant impact on the production and circulation of coins, making surviving examples from this period particularly valuable to collectors.
The Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1933-S AU50 Details ANACS is graded AU50 by the American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS), indicating Almost Uncirculated condition with visible wear but still retaining much of its original luster. Coins in AU50 grade typically exhibit light to moderate wear on the high points of the design.
Despite the wear, the Certified Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1933-S AU50 Details ANACS remains a highly collectible piece of American numismatic history. Its association with the Great Depression and its stunning design make it a sought-after addition to any coin collection.
