Can someone tell me why there is a W on the reverse side of this Philadelphia walking liberty half dollar? I checked 2 other listings and 2 other Walkers had them too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Uncirculate...43bcf8d73:g:qnUAAOSwA3dYCPT0&autorefresh=true
Yes, it is the monogram for Adolph Weinman, the guy who designed the coin. It is actually an A superimposed over a W. All Walkers should have the monogram. Weinman also designed the Mercury dime. You can see his monogram in the obverse fields of the Mercury dime. You can read a bit more about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Alexander_Weinman
Nice post. There is one variety of the 1941 proof missing the AW. Believe it was polished off the die. Cal
