1916 San Francisco Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar Good to Very Good Condition

The 1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar marks the debut year of this beloved silver series, designed by Adolph A. Weinman and struck at the San Francisco Mint. As one of the three mintmarks issued in 1916, the “S” variety is especially prized due to its low mintage of just over 508,000 pieces—the lowest of the year. The obverse features the iconic image of Liberty striding toward the sunrise, while the reverse depicts a majestic eagle perched on a mountain pine, symbolizing American strength and resilience.
