Additional Description: A partially filled Whitman folder of Walking Liberty half dollars offers more than a glimpse into silver coinage—it reflects a collector’s unfolding journey through one of the most artistically celebrated series in American numismatics. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman and minted from 1916 to 1947, the Walking Liberty half dollar embodies a powerful blend of classical form and national symbolism: Liberty strides forward beneath the rising sun, draped in the American flag, while the reverse features a poised eagle, wings lifted as if ready to ascend.
The coins within this folder, struck in 90% silver, circulated during some of the most consequential decades in U.S. history—through two world wars, the Great Depression, and the nation’s emergence as a global power.
