This is the final issue of the early set of Walking Liberty Half Dollars which is common all the way up to and including MS62. MS63 through MS66 gradually become more scarce until the very few MS67’s that are very rare. For a San Francisco minted Walker, it is strongly struck; but lacks the luster found in most of the other early set Walking Liberty Halves.
Obverse Description
Liberty portrayed standing on a rock, facing left, with flowing robes and her right hand outstretched with a star-covered drapery flowing behind her. I bright sun, with extended rays is rising from the horizon on the lower left. The word LIBERTY frames the periphery and date appears at the bottom center. and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is in the right field.
Reverse Description
A large eagle perched on a rock, facing left with wings elevated in a defensive posture. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR appear on the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM sits atop a small olive branch left of the eagle. The mintmark is small, and placed below the olive branch near the left rim.
