      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: This issue has an extremely high mintage and therefore massive survival estimate for collectors. The 1942 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. Widely 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 very strong strike and fantastic luster.
