The word LIBERTY frames the periphery and date appears at the bottom center. and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is in the right field. Reverse Description: A large eagle perched on a rock, facing left with wings elevated in a defensive posture. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR appear on the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM sits atop a small olive branch left of the eagle. General Notes: This is one of the most common Walking Liberty Half Dollars of this decade. With a hefty mintage of over 9 million, coins below AU are worth no more than the silver content.

This issue is known to have above average luster but a below average strike.
