Silver Value & Portfolio Appeal

With over 0.36 oz of silver per coin, these pre-1965 issues combine historical significance and tangible silver content. Often referred to as "junk silver" when circulated, these AU specimens offer a visually superior option for those accumulating silver in recognizable U.S. coinage.

Rarity & Legacy

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is celebrated as one of the most beautiful U.S. coin designs and remains a collector favorite to this day. AU-condition coins from the 1940s preserve the coin's stunning details without the premium of fully uncirculated examples. The design's enduring popularity is such that its obverse was revived for use on the modern American Silver Eagle. Coins will be selected from 1940-1947 and may include issues from the Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco mints. Specific dates and mintmarks are not guaranteed, but all will meet AU condition standards.
