1939 Liberty Walking Silver Half Dollar

Struck in 90% silver at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, the 1939 Liberty Walking half dollar is a precious keepsake from pre-World War II America. This was the year that Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland, prompting Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany. The Liberty Walking half dollar was introduced shortly before the United States became involved in World War I. The coin's proud and defiant design once again reflected the spirit of pre-war America.
