Walking Liberty half dollar
The Walking Liberty half dollar is another classic coin - originally minted by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1947. The original 50-cent piece coin was 90% silver / 10% copper, with a 30.63mm diameter, a 1.8mm thickness, and a weight of 12.5 grams. The coin was designed by a sculptor and engraver named Adolph A. Weinman. The coin features a walking Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, with the sun on the east horizon - the flip side of the coin features a bald eagle rising from a mountain top branch perch (Source).

The Walking side features Lady Liberty walking to the left with her right arm outstretched, and the left arm cradling one olive branch. The sun is at the bottom left, shining behind her, the American flag draped over her shoulder. The text "LIBERTY" stretches along the outside curve of the upper half of the coin. To the right of the Lady are the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" - the bottom of the coin has the text "SMI", Sunshine Mint logo.
Eagle Side differences
