Walking/Standing Liberty Half Dollar

The Walking Liberty Half Dollars are among our favorite coins. They were minted between 1916 and 1947 and are 90% Silver.
The front of the coin is graced by Lady Liberty herself as you can see from the image. She is walking or standing and holding an olive branch. A sun is rising on her left side. (or setting not sure really but I would imagine it was rising). This same design was later used on the 1oz American Silver Eagles.
The coins was designed by Adolph A. Weinman a member of the National Sculpture Society.
Current silver melt value* for this coin is $9.13 and this price is based off the current silver spot price of $25.25 This value is dynamic so bookmark it and comeback for an up to the minute silver melt value.
* Notice as of December 2006 it is illegal to melt down US Minted Pennies and Nickels, and there is a $10,000 fine to help enforce the law. It is legal however to melt down silver dollars, half dollars, dimes, quarters for their content.
