Offered here is a genuine 1945 Walking Liberty half dollar struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), a final-year-of-World-War-II silver half. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Walking Liberty half is widely considered one of the most beautiful US coins ever struck.
Grade: Extremely Fine (XF), upper end. The date and all legends are bold and sharp. Liberty's breast is outlined along the bottom with the gown lines below it, and her skirt lines and gown folds are well defined. On the reverse, both of the eagle's wings show light wear with the feather detail mostly complete; the expected wear is on the centers of the eagle's breast and leg and on Liberty's head, hand and left leg. Bright, natural silver color.
Condition, please read: light circulation wear on the high points. There are scattered light marks and fine scratches/hairlines in the obverse fields, most noticeable in the right obverse field around TY of LIBERTY and above IN GOD WE TRUST, plus small marks on both sides typical of circulation. No holes or bends; rims look fine. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.
