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.

General Notes: The 1941 is the first year where there is an extreme increase in mintage and, therefore, survival estimate for collectors. The 1941 is a Walking Liberty Half Dollar type coin that is only worth the value of the scrap silver content if graded less than Mint State. Excessively available in all Mint State grades through MS67 with just the finest MS68 being scarce. As a common, affordable type coin it makes a beautiful appearance with a crisp strike and either blazing white luster or toning of all sorts.
