This 1946-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar, graded MS64 by PCGS, is a beautiful mid-grade mint state example of one of America’s most iconic coin designs. Struck at the Denver Mint, it features strong luster, crisp detail, and light contact only visible under magnification — a well-preserved coin for the collector who values classic silver in high grade.
Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the obverse shows Lady Liberty striding forward, draped in the American flag, symbolizing progress and freedom. The reverse features a powerful bald eagle perched on a mountain pine branch.
This coin is part of the beloved Walking Liberty series, issued from 1916 to 1947, and is a favorite among collectors and silver investors alike.
The 1946-D is the enigma of the Walking Liberty half dollar series. It is the lowest mintage of the 1939 to 1947 issues and indeed it is the hardest to find in circulated condition. In uncirculated condition, this is the second most common Walking Liberty half dollar, with only the 1943 Philadelphia being more common. Bottom line is that a huge quantity of uncirculated rolls were saved. So this issue is very easy to locate in mint state grades up to MS65. But the enigma of the 1946-D continues for in grades above MS66 this issue is almost impossible to find. Seems that uncirculated examples were saved, including many grading MS 65, but the quality was a little off and Superb Gems are rare. This issue is usually decently struck. The look can range from frosty white (a little more satiny and subdued than earlier issue though) to various degrees of toning.
