1918 Walking Liberty Half Dollar
This is a United States half dollar coin featuring the iconic Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman. Struck in 1918, this specimen is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a standard diameter of 30.6 millimeters. The obverse depicts Liberty enveloped in the American flag, striding toward a rising sun while carrying branches of laurel and oak. The year '1918' is visible at the bottom, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' appears in the right field. In terms of condition, the coin shows significant circulation wear consistent with a low-grade or 'Good' (G-4 to G-6) classification. The high points of Liberty's body, specifically the breasts and head, are nearly flat, and the folds of her gown have blended together. The rim shows heavy wear, and while the date is legible, it is faint. The surface displays a dark, uneven patina with some grime in the recessed areas, which is typical for a silver coin that has seen extensive commercial use. There are no obvious deep gouges or signs of cleaning, suggesting an authentic, aged appearance. The craftsmanship reflects the early 20th-century artistic shift toward more fluid, neoclassical numismatic designs.
