      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: The 1942-D is the least common for the Denver Mint issues in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series for those struck in the 1940's. It is readily available in Mint State including gem grades up to MS67, which are a bit tougher. The finest MS68 is scarce as only a handful exist. Overall, the issue is very attractive with strong strikes and either blazing white luster or nice toning in some cases.
