The 1946 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, marks a significant post-war era for this beloved series designed by Adolph A. Weinman. With a substantial mintage of 12,118,000, this issue is common within the series, yet it is highly sought after for type sets due to its iconic representation of liberty striding toward the dawn of a new era. The Philadelphia coins of this year are noted for their generally strong strikes, with good details in Liberty's gown and Eagle's feathers, although some softness in the hand can occasionally be seen. With its brilliant silver luster and preserved surfaces, this specimen offers eye appeal that enhances both its collector significance and market desirability. For those completing a set of Walking Liberty Half Dollars, this 1946 issue provides an essential snapshot of post-World War II numismatics.
