The 1921 Philadelphia Mint Walkers come from a very low relative mintage of just 246,000. Only the Denver Mint issue of this date had a lower mintage. The 1921 is very scarce in circulated grades, very rare in Mint State and not a gem rarity like its counterpart minted in San Francisco that same year. It is known for a very strong strike, with many having nice luster and toning.
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.
