Did you know that a 1918-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar sold for an incredible $340,750? Or that a 1919-D in pristine condition brought $270,250 at auction? Here’s an even more stunning fact: a 1921-S Walking Liberty—one of the key dates in the series—commanded $188,000! These aren’t just old coins; they’re American numismatic treasures that represent some of the most beautiful and sought-after designs ever struck by the U.S. Mint.
Welcome to your guide for the most valuable Walking Liberty Half Dollars! This chart focuses on the entire Walking Liberty series (1916-1947)—coins that feature Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic design of Lady Liberty striding toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag. We update it monthly to reflect current market values based on recent auction results.
What transforms a Walking Liberty Half Dollar into a six-figure treasure? Three main factors: key dates (like the scarce 1921-S and 1921-D), exceptional condition (coins graded MS-65 and higher are extraordinarily rare), and variety types (such as the 1917-S Obverse mintmark). Even common dates in superb condition can command thousands of dollars, while the rarest dates in top grades can rival the price of a luxury home!
Let’s start with our Top 10 elite coins—each one getting the spotlight it deserves—before revealing the complete rankings from 11-100! These stunning silver beauties prove that American coin collecting reaches its pinnacle with the Walking Liberty series.
