1934 Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS64
Cert #6592.64/48100185
The 1934 Walking Liberty half dollar, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, is celebrated for its beautiful and symbolic imagery:
Obverse: The front of the coin features Lady Liberty in a full-length depiction, striding confidently towards the left. She is draped in the American flag, symbolizing freedom and patriotism. In her left hand, she carries branches of laurel and oak, representing both civil and military glory1. Her right hand is outstretched, as if welcoming the dawn of a new day.
Reverse: The back of the coin showcases a majestic eagle perched on a rocky crag, ready to take flight. The eagle is surrounded by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOLLAR,” with the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (Out of many, one) prominently displayed.
This design is often praised for its artistic merit and the way it captures the spirit of America during the early 20th century.
