Walking Liberty Half Dollar (Reverse)

This is the reverse (tails) side of a United States Walking Liberty Half Dollar, a coin series minted between 1916 and 1947. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, possessing a diameter of 30.6 millimeters and a reeded edge. The central design features a powerful bald eagle perched on a mountain crag, wings unfolded in a defiant stance with a mountain pine sapling growing from the rock. The inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'HALF DOLLAR' curve along the top and bottom perimeters, respectively, while the national motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is positioned to the left of the eagle's breast. The coin exhibits significant signs of circulation and wear, consistent with a grading of 'Good' to 'Very Good.' Notable wear is visible on the eagle's breast feathers and the details of the pine branch, which have flattened over time. The surface displays a dark, aged patina and various small contact marks or 'bag marks' throughout the fields. There is a visible 'D' mint mark located near the lower left rim under the pine branch, indicating it was produced at the Denver Mint. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, this specimen represents a classic piece of early 20th-century American numismatic history and is highly valued for its silver content and artistic merit.
