This particular piece is noteworthy as it is classified as a Proof coin, a designation that indicates it was specially struck for collectors with a higher standard of quality in mind. Walking Liberty Half Dollars are renowned for their artistic design, showcasing Lady Liberty walking confidently toward the sun on the obverse (front) of the coin, while the reverse features a majestic bald eagle in flight. The coin has a diameter of 30.6 mm and weighs 12.5 grams, rendered in 90% silver, which makes it not only a beautiful collectible but also valuable due to its precious metal content. This specific coin has a low mintage of only 5,728 pieces, making it a rare find for numismatists and collectors alike. It represents a denomination of 50 cents (or Fifty Cents) in United States currency (USD) and is a part of the broader segment of U.S. coinage known as "Coins." With its striking design and limited production, the 1937 Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollar is considered a prized addition to any collection, celebrated both for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
