Up for auction/sale is a premier early-date key issue in the Walking Liberty half dollar series—an authentic 1919 Walking Liberty Half Dollar (Philadelphia Mint) in choice Fine (F) condition!

Struck during the immediate post-WWI era, the 1919 Philadelphia issue is renowned among collectors as one of the most notoriously challenging early dates to find with solid, mid-grade detail. With a relatively low original mintage of 6,518,000 pieces, a vast majority were subject to heavy, prolonged circulation in commerce, causing high-wear specimens to dominate the market. Finding a solid Fine survivor featuring distinct skirt drapery lines, clear sandals, and well-defined eagle feathering is a genuine prize for series specialists. This coin is an ideal candidate for an advanced Walking Liberty collection or high-end U.S. silver type set.
