Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar (Uncirculated)

The Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a captivating segment of American numismatic history, offering both historical richness and silver melt value.

These silver coins struck between 1916 and 1947, are emblematic of an era when silver coinage was part of daily commerce in the United States. Their allure lies not just in their beauty and silver content but also in their story, as pieces of “honest money” that circulated widely in American pockets and purses.

Junk silver coins are defined as circulated silver coins that were minted primarily for everyday transactions in the United States prior to 1965 and are valued mainly for their metal content rather than for collectible or numismatic value. These coins are no longer produced or used in regular commerce due to the high melt value of their silver content exceeding their fifty-cent ($0.50 USD) face value.

Junk silver coins have been in circulation and typically show signs of wear, tear, and tarnish. Their condition is generally not a factor in their value, unlike with numismatic coins where the condition can significantly impact price.
