Description
This is a 1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, a classic American silver coin.

The reverse displays a proud bald eagle perched on a mountain crag, symbolizing strength and freedom. The coin's design is renowned for its artistic merit and patriotic symbolism, making it a popular choice for collectors.
History
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar series was minted from 1916 to 1947. Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman, it replaced the Barber half dollar. The design was chosen through a competition and is celebrated for its graceful depiction of Liberty. The 1943 mintage occurred during World War II, a period of significant historical events and national unity.
Facts
The Walking Liberty design is considered one of the most beautiful in American coinage. The coins contain 90% silver and 10% copper, giving them intrinsic value beyond their face denomination. This particular coin, a 1943 issue, was produced without a mint mark, indicating it came from the Philadelphia Mint. Its design has been influential and is now used on the American Silver Eagle bullion coin.
Value Fact
The value of a 1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar can vary significantly based on its grade and condition. Circulated examples like this one typically range from $10 to $25, while uncirculated or proof versions can command much higher prices. Demand remains steady due to the coin's historical significance and silver content, attracting both novice and experienced collectors.
