The 1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar, with a mintage of just 1,208,000 coins, is a noteworthy example within the series, ranking as a semi-key date that attracts attention from discerning collectors. Struck at the Denver Mint, known for its lower mintage figures, this coin features Adolph Weinman's iconic design, which has become a hallmark of American numismatics. This particular piece exhibits strong luster and well-defined details, though early strikes from this mint often present challenges with surface quality, making well-preserved examples highly sought after. In terms of collector significance, the 1917-D is particularly desirable for those completing a Walking Liberty set, as its relative rarity compared to other dates enhances its appeal. The coin's historical context is rooted in the economic climate of World War I, which influenced silver production and availability. As such, this attractive example not only serves as a testament to the artistry of its time but also represents a critical piece in the narrative of American coinage.
