Weinman's Walking Liberty Half Dollars are a classic design.

Reviving this old thread, so show a nice half dollar I won in a contest on CCF a while ago.

Lucky You! Fine specimen...

Yep. Much nice than my other 3.

Sure I have around 20 of them, nothing earth shattering but some nice ones here and there.
I do have an original 1916 first year coin though.

Not the greatest condition in the world (Good to VG) but still very old and beautiful, this is a Denver and first year coins always have mintmarks to the right of Liberty!

Next coins include 1917 and 1918. My 1917 P coin is a very nice example well into the VF territory, despite its age, its a fairly common coin.

My 1917S as you can see is a lot less nice! Its got an almost full rim, so would be VG.

I have shown these as 99% of the walkers you see are always 1941 to 1944 as they were from GIs who came into the Down Under regions and quantities minted were high 8 figures compared to a few million for most pre 1934 coins. Most of the coins found in Australia and New Zealand are likely to be San Frans, whereas in Trumpland, Phillys (No mintmark) and Denvers dominate.

The roaring 20s gave us some more walkers too and many dates are scarce, my ones are more common though, still a nice pre 1934 Walker is a treat to behold. In 1934 the Americans pushed the mint button harder after the depression and 1934 to 1945 is like a super common era for American silver.

My 1928S is a high VF with an attractive tone and the 1920 is not bad either! In fact its better than EF and surprisingly common, still this is a 106 year old coin.

I am trying to beef up posts in the castle!
