Silver Value & Portfolio Appeal

Each coin contains over one-third of an ounce of silver, making them a valuable way to stack silver in fractional, recognizable U.S. coinage. Pre-1965 90% silver coins are often referred to as "junk silver," but XF specimens retain greater eye appeal while still offering the flexibility and liquidity of traditional bullion.

Rarity & Legacy

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar remains one of the most iconic designs in American coinage. XF-condition coins from the 1940s preserve nearly all the design elements with visible detail and only minor circulation wear, offering a strong balance between affordability and visual appeal. The obverse design was later revived for the modern American Silver Eagle, further solidifying its place in U.S. numismatic history. Coins are selected at random from available inventory dated 1940-1947 and may include issues from the Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco mints. Specific years and mintmarks are not guaranteed.
