Bullion/Proof like Coin UNC*
The Walking Liberty half dollar was a silver 50-cent piece or half dollar coin issued by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1947; it was designed by Adolph A. Weinman.
In 1915, the new Mint Director, Robert W. Woolley, came to believe that he was not only allowed but required by law to replace coin designs that had been in use for 25 years. He therefore began the process of replacing the Barber coinage: dimes, quarters and half dollars, all bearing similar designs by long-time Mint Engraver Charles E. Barber, and first struck in 1892. Weinman was selected to design the half dollar.
Weinman's design of Liberty striding towards the Sun for the half dollar proved difficult to perfect, and Treasury Secretary William G. McAdoo, whose department included the Mint, considered having Barber create his own design. Art historian Cornelius Vermeule considered the piece to be among the most beautiful US coins. Since 1986, a modification of Weinman's obverse design has been used for the American Silver Eagle
This coin is one of the smallest bullion coins ever produced in the world. These are authentic mini reproductions of popular US and World currencies which are layered and filled with 8 to 22kt gold. The coin is in beautiful pristine uncirculated condition. I hope the photographs will help with grading and description. Every minute detail of the large coin has been adapted to its mini version. This is a GREAT INVESTMENT and Gold is at it's all time high. As the gold prices are rising, GoldFilled HGE coins are becoming scarce and disappearing from the market.
