Details
This Denver Mint Walking Liberty Half Dollar is common as a circulated coin, scarce in Mint State and rare as a gem. This issue is above average in luster and strike. Not much of a condition rarity like same other early Walkers from this Mint but certainly tough enough in its own right. As a gem it is a rare issue in MS65 and considered extremely rare in its finest MS66 and MS67 grades.

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: 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.
