      Obverse Description: Liberty portrayed standing on a rock, facing left, with flowing robes and her right hand outstretched with a star-covered drapery flowing behind her. I bright sun, with extended rays is rising from the horizon on the lower left. 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: The 1938 Walking Liberty Half Dollar comes from a mintage of just over four million. This is only notable because it is the lowest of all the Philadelphia mint issues of the so called common Walker era from 1934 to 1946. Therefore, it is ever so slightly scarcer in Mint State than the rest of the bunch. Relatively common through MS66, then a bit tougher in MS67 and very rare in MS68 as just a few exist. Overall, the issue is very attractive with strong strikes and luster. Pretty golden color is often found with this date.
