Additional Description: A Whitman folder containing Walking Liberty Half Dollars from 1936 to 1967 alongside Kennedy Half Dollars in both 90% and 40% silver offers a rich journey through American coinage’s mid-century evolution. The Walking Liberty series, celebrated for its elegant design by Adolph A. Weinman, captures a nation moving through the Great Depression, World War II, and postwar growth, with its striking depiction of Liberty walking toward the rising sun symbolizing hope and resilience.
In 1964, the coin gave way to the Kennedy Half Dollar, a design born of national mourning and crafted to honor a fallen president. The 1964 issue, struck in 90% silver, marked the final year of traditional silver content before economic pressures led to the 40% silver-clad composition from 1965 through 1967.
