Description
The 1935 Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a half dollar produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947 series. With a mintage of 9.2 million, this is a less common issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 57% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory and the reverse displays an eagle perched on a mountain crag with wings partially unfurled, a sapling of mountain pine growing beside it. Struck during the Great Depression, when mintages dropped sharply and the United States abandoned the gold standard in 1933. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $39 to $110 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 12.5 grams, 30 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6595.
