Weinman Edge: Reeded 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. The mintmark is small, and placed below the olive branch near the left rim. General Notes: Extremely common in circulated grades, if not just scrap silver, this issue remains common in Mint State up to MS65 and MS66 where there is a substantial level of scarcity. High-quality luster is easy to locate for this issue. Major warning that the strikes for 1935-D’s are weak, especially on Liberty’s head, making one of these coins with a detailed head nearly impossible to find.
