The 1937 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a notable coin in American numismatics, minted in Philadelphia. With a denomination of 50 cents, this coin features a beautiful design that exemplifies the artistry of the time. Struck in 90% silver, the coin contains a total weight of 12.5 grams and a diameter of 30.6 millimeters. This particular piece from the Walking Liberty series showcases the iconic imagery of Lady Liberty walking confidently, draped in the American flag, while the reverse features an impressive depiction of a soaring eagle. The 1937 mintage of 9,522,000 coins makes it relatively common, yet it remains highly sought after by collectors due to its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. Being a mint strike from the Philadelphia mint (denoted by the absence of a mint mark), this coin is a fine example of the craftsmanship of its era. It serves as a wonderful representation of the United States' rich monetary history, cherished by both collectors and those with an appreciation for silver coins.
