About this product
Product Information
<h2>David Hall</h2>The 1917 Philadelphia is the most common of the early date (1916-1929) Walking Liberty half dollars in all grades. Mint state examples are usually well struck. Gems have the white satin look of the early Walkers. Gems are available but scarce relative to other denominations. Typically, the smaller denominations were saved more than the larger denominations during this era as face value was an issue when collectors of the day decided which coins to save. It cost a lot less to save new pennies and nickels than it did to save quarters and half dollars. When it came to silver dollars, the government did the saving as silver dollars sat in government vaults until the 1950s and 1960s. But half dollars were probably saved in the smallest quantities during the pre-World War II years.Product Identifiers

Exactly What I Wanted
Wanted a 1917 Walking Liberty Half Dollar to wear as pendant in memory of my Father who was born that year. I have put it in a silver bezel, added a silver chain and it is close to my heart every time I wear it. Thank youVerified purchase: Yes

Pre 65 U.S. Silver Coins
Though a bit worn for a collection, but still a good value. It is a great coin to pass on to my grandkids, nephews and nieces. It reminds me of when I was a child and when I saw my grandfather or an uncle, they reached into their pocket and pulled out a nice shinny Half Dollar or Silver dollar. I am looking forward to carrying on that tradition, teaching the younger children the value of Silver.Verified purchase: Yes
