Liberty Walking Half Dollars

These are also in the coins I’m looking at for a friend. Worn but dates are seen.

They are all common dates. Nice, honestly circulated examples of those dates. They would make great Dansco coins.

 

All common dates and mint marks but they are free from damage.

 

Yes he kept them tucked away.

 

The Walking Liberty is a beautiful coin. They used to use half dollars when I was a kid, and some of these were in circulation.

 

Yes, my friend’s grandfather owned a gas station in the day when it was full service… cleaning windshield etc. I assume that’s how he got a few of the older coins and stashed them.

 

I believe that the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was the best designed and most practical coin among the "American Renaissance" pieces that were introduced in the nineteen - teens. The other coins were either too hard make or had a bad habit of losing their dates in circulation, like the Buffalo Nickel and the Standing Liberty Quarter.

 

No matter their condition, I love that design and keep everyone I can find or afford.

What was your friend hoping to find by having you examine them? Just curious?
