1943-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar
The 1943-D Walking Liberty half dollar, because it came from the Denver mint, has one of the lower issues of the Walking Liberty coins. It is a lovely and rather easy-to-collect coin. The half dollar design was created by Adolph Weinman. He was a sculptor that won the commission to design this coin and the dime in a competition held by the Commission on Fine Arts. This design, however, was not the initial design for the coin. Like many other coins coming from the Denver mint, the 1943-D Walking Liberty retains a beautiful white and frosty luster. Strike is generally outstanding.
