The 1940 Liberty Walking half dollars were coined over 65 years ago at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, the birthplace of U.S. coinage, where coin production dates back to 1793! Struck in 90% fine silver, Liberty Walking halves feature an attractive and popular depiction of Liberty striding toward the rising sun, her right arm outstretched in a bestowal of the spirit of freedom. The eagle on the reverse is equally as impressive and artistic.
