Walking Liberty Half Dollars were minted by the United States from 1916 to 1947, known for their striking design by artist Adolph A. Weinman. The 1939 edition is particularly notable as it falls within a period of high demand for silver coins during the Great Depression and World War II. The obverse features Lady Liberty striding forward, while the reverse showcases a bald eagle perched on a mountain. These coins, composed of 90% silver, are sought after by collectors not only for their precious metal content but also for their artistic appeal and historical significance.
