Description
The 1946 (D) Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1947 collection. With a mintage of 2.2 million, this is a less common issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 12% of total 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. Last full year of production; a popular final-year date for set builders. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $39 to $96 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 #6628.
