In 1915, United States Mint Director Robert W. Woolley invited three noted sculptors to design templates for three silver coins that would become the Mercury dime, the Standing Liberty quarter, and the Walking Liberty half-dollar (also referred to as “Liberty Walking”, or “Walker” for short.) A. A. Weinman was awarded the designs for both the dime and the half-dollar.

With the unique combination of silver content, American history, a highly regarded design, and numismatic value, the uncirculated walking liberties make an excellent longer term investment. As most of the value in this coin is derived from its rarity (numismatic value), it is favorable since it can hold its value even with decreases in the silver market.

With our clients, the most popular collection of Walking Liberties is referred to as a World War II Set. This consists of one roll for each year from 1939 to 1945 from the Philadelphia mint. For the more serious collector/investor, the Denver and San Francisco mint rolls can be incorporated as well.
