1941 50c

Coin / United States of America / 50c / Walking Liberty Halves / 1941 / Philadelphia

The 1941 is the first year where there is an extreme increase in mintage and, therefore, survival estimate for collectors. The 1941 is a Walking Liberty Half Dollar type coin that is only worth the value of the scrap silver content if graded less than Mint State. Excessively available in all Mint State grades through MS67 with just the finest MS68 being scarce. As a common, affordable type coin it makes a beautiful appearance with a crisp strike and either blazing white luster or toning of all sorts.
