Additional Description: The 1943 and 1944 U.S. Silver Half Dollars were struck during the heart of World War II, a time when American coinage played both a practical and symbolic role in a nation fully mobilized for global conflict. These coins feature Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design, with Liberty advancing toward the dawn, draped in the American flag—an image that resonated deeply during a period defined by sacrifice, unity, and purpose. Struck in 90% silver, they circulated widely on the home front, used in everything from war bond purchases to daily necessities amid rationing and economic shifts.
